Re: XML::Parser - Obtaining Attributes

I, too, would use something other than XML::Parser, (e.g. XML::Rules), but to answer your question, you need to tell the parser what your handlers are:

my $parser = new XML::Parser(
  Handlers => {
    Start => \&StartTag,
  },
);

Thanks for the comment. Actually it defaults to the sub StartTag anyway, so no worries there, and the script has no problems processing the rest of the file; it really is just the attributes bit that I have an issue with. If I can't meet with any success then I guess maybe I'll have to use another module, but I'd really rather find out why this particular bit won't work.	[reply]

Actually it defaults to the sub StartTag anyway, I see that now (when you call with `Style => 'Stream'`), but if you read more closely, you'll see that with the Stream style, it does not call the sub with the arguments in @_. The attributes, e.g., are in %_.	[reply] [d/l]
