Funny you should mention that, because GPS Visualizer makes pretty heavy use of XML::Simple to read several XML-based GPS data file formats -- GPX, Garmin Forerunner, LOC, etc.).
(Unfortunately, I wasn't able to use it to create GPX files, because apparently the order of the tags is significant, and XML::Simple doesn't let you set the order.)
I keep wanting to add support for MLS search result pages to GPS Visualizer, but since every regional system probably has its own output format, I would need to collect lots of sample files. The only one I can parse at the moment is RMLS (Portland, OR), since that's where we bought our house...
For now, at least, you can manually compile a list of houses you want to look at (addresses will suffice; GPS Visualizer can try to find the coordinates) and enter them into GPSV's address form.
Mentioned in the article's footnotes as "SVG web application": GPS Visualizer.
Its free, and platform-independent. (Unfortunately, Adobe's SVG Viewer doesn't get along well with Mozilla for Windows, but it's fine in WinIE or in any browser in OS X.)
