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>
[download]

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

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
