I am using XML::Twig to convert XML from one form to another. I want to be able to use XML::Twig as part of a larger package where the subs reference one another via $self->subroutinename syntax as self contains allsorts of necessary config data. I have no issue using XML::Twig except for one thing.
The doc states setting up a callback to a twig handler is defined as :-

my $twig= new XML::Twig( 
                TwigHandlers =>                  # player will be call
+ed
                  { player => \&player }         # when each player el
+ement
                       );                        # has been parsed

I want to be able to set up a callback as :-

my $t= XML::Twig->new( twig_handlers => 
                           { 'JOB_SECTIONS/SWITCH' => $self->_upload_j
+ob()},
                           pretty_print => 'indented'
                       )->parsefile($InFileName);

However when I do this it breaks the twig handler as the twig and element are not passed into the sub. The sub is fired though. I could but would prefer not to have to code around this. Any ideas? How can I reference self if it isn't passed into the sub?

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
