        XML::Simple provides an easy API to read and write XML (especially config
        files). It is deprecated and its use is discouraged.
         <!-- per https://metacpan.org/pod/XML::Simple :-
        The use of this module in new code is strongly discouraged. (explanations
        are given there) -->
