Subject: XML in Ruby (or C++?)

Dear Ruby users,

I am (still) ignorant about Ruby, but, from the very few things I
read, it seems a very nice language. I would like to know some
opinions regarding Ruby's suitability to parse XML files into an
internal Ruby representation so that they can be manipulated by Ruby
code and then written down to a new XML file.
Is it a good idea to do it in Ruby? What about efficiency? Should I do
it with C++ (with lots of templates ;-|) ? I already know quite a bit
(?) of C++ and that is the reason why I am also considering it.

Thanks a lot in advance for any opinions. I need them!

Joao
