Instead of reinventing the wheel on parsing DTD's, see dtd.pl at
<http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/perlSGML.html>.  It is quite robust
and has been developed to handle SGML features like marked sections and
public/system identifier resolution via catalogs.

The library is in Perl 4 (since initial development started 2.5 years
ago), but it works under Perl 5.  Check the documentation on how to
use it.
