>I need to be able to build a tree that represents the data

XML is basically a tree from the get go, so it is a little
unclear what 'tree' you want to build. I interpreted you problem
to basically ask how to build the containment hierarchy
of modules that included other modules based on the relationship
joining <id> to <parentid>. Also, I fleshed out your input XML 
to be three-deep and three-wide versus your original four-deep
and one-wide example. To show the module containment clearly, I 
pushed your <id> and <name> tags into attributes.
