Re^2: Using XPaths with XML::LibXML and XPathContext

in reply to Re: Using XPaths with XML::LibXML and XPathContext
in thread Using XPaths with XML::LibXML and XPathContext

I get it now. (I was getting confused between the namespace DAV: and the namespace DAV, duh!)

Is it compulsory to register a namespace prefix? I can seem to find no way of using a fully qualified XPath. For a namespace NS calling registerNs(NS, NS) works. Is that the only way?

`$xpc->registerNS($prefix, $ns)` defines a prefix. (Not the only one, though.) You can't use a prefix you haven't defined. But it's possible to build XPaths that don't use prefixes using `namespace-uri()` and `local-name()`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
