--------------------------------------+-----------------------------
 The Perl bindings read the lines of config.xml as plain text strings,
 extracting the values of desired elements using matching (m##) and regex
 captures.

 Ideally we would parse the document as XML and extract values directly
 from the data structure created by the XML parser.

 Depending on the XML library(ies) used, this would also permit the
 configuration file to be validated against a suitable DTD/Schema.
