DESCRIPTION

        MapIt.pm is used primarily by DataLoader.pm for extracting mapping information from
        a xml map file. The mapping information can be used for querying a database for
        the purpose of reconstructing a xml document(see the sample script query_sql.cb).

Map Rules

see man page DBIx::XML::DataLoader for complete map rules and sample map file.
