in reply to XML::Twig and the monasteries XML

XML::Twig ISA XML::Parser so it doesn't touch the content by default, but you can add a input filter.

    Thanks, defining an input_filter did the trick °

    $twig=XML::Twig->new(
    #discard_spaces => 1,
    input_filter => sub { $_[0] =~ s/^\n//r },
);

    Also found discard_spaces but couldn't make it work though.

    updated

    or rather not !

    I checked all calls to the callback, and the input filter is run on each line of input.

    I.e. it will also discard newlines in the middle of a content.

    Cheers Rolf
