The xml::handler::trees module provides three perlsax handler classes for building tree structures. xml::handler::tree builds the same type of tree as the "tree" style in xml::parser. xml::handler::easytree builds the same type of tree as the "easytree" style added to xml::parser by xml::parser::easytree. xml::handler::treebuilder builds the same type of tree as sean m. burke's xml::treebuilder. these classes make it possible to construct these tree structures from sources other than xml::parser.

all three handlers can be driven by either perlsax 1 or perlsax 2 drivers. in all cases, the end_document() method returns a reference to the constructed tree, which normally becomes the return value of the perlsax driver.
