in reply to Re^2: XML Parsing from URL
in thread SOLVED: XML Parsing from URL

Is a very interesting problem but difficult to experiment with.. anyway you can try to use twig_roots or you can try to preprocess your input.
In fact I see a declared lenght in the header: will be possible to read only what is declared in Content-Length and pass this chunk to XML::Twig to be processed.

Maybe you can elaborate a specific XML::Twig question as new SOPW, the author of the module lurks here sometimes..

UPDATE: you can also read this interesting article

Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.

Re^4: XML Parsing from URL - XML::Twig and infinite stream

    maybe someting ugly as (modified the data to get rid of the --boundary thing):
    #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Twig;
$|++;
open my $fh,'<','xmlstream.xml' or die;

while (<DATA>) {
    chomp;
    if ($_ =~/Content-Length: (\d+)/){
          my $len = $1;
          my $xml;
          my $read = read (DATA,$xml,$len,0);
          print "read: tried $len got $read: [$xml]\n";
          my $t= XML::Twig->new( pretty_print => 'indented',
                    twig_handlers => {
                          'ipAddress'=>sub{print "\t\tIP ADDRESS:\t",$
+_[1]->text,"\n"; }
                    }
          );
          $t->parse($xml);
    }
}
