jmurphy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,

Warning XML and Perl newbie. I've created a DOM tree from XML::LibXML::SAX::Builder and the structure is roughly as follows:

<Message> <Body>...Base64_Encoded_Text...</Body> </Message>
I need to replace the Base64 encode text with its decoded value. So far I've been able to decode the contents of the Body with the following:
. . . my $dom = $generator->execute("exec $opt_hash{sp} \'$opt_dates{start}\ +', \'$opt_dates{end}\'"); my $root = $dom->getDocumentElement; my @bodies = $root->getElementsByTagName('Body'); for (my $i = 0; $i < scalar(@bodies); $i++) { print decode_base64($bodies[$i]->getFirstChild->getData); } . . .
However, I'd like to modify the tree directly and not just the list that gets returned from getElementsByName. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Jay
