in reply to XML::LibXML drives me to drinking

I’m not free to write more this moment but this might have enough to get you sorted: Re^3: Anyone Have Perl Code for New Amazon API? [SOLVED]. If not, or no one else steps in, I’ll write more in a day or two.

    Unfortunately not. This gets me to the point at which I am already (and what a struggle THAT was!) but I can already access nodes from the root level. Now, however, I need to access named sub-nodes of a particular node (in my example, ASIN of /ItemLookupResponse/Items/Item). It's not really helpful to access it from root (/ItemLookupResponse/Items/Item/ASIN) because there may be several Item nodes.

      My node had pretty good clues, actually. :P Try this–

      use strict;
use XML::LibXML;

my $string = <<"";
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ItemLookupResponse xmlns="http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceS
+ervice/2013-08-01">
  <Items>
    <Item>
      <ASIN>B01KI4JSQY</ASIN>
    </Item>
  </Items>
</ItemLookupResponse>

my $doc = XML::LibXML->new->load_xml(string => $string, {no_blanks => 
+1});
my $xc = XML::LibXML::XPathContext->new($doc);
$xc->registerNs( x => $doc->getDocumentElement->namespaceURI );

for my $item ( $xc->findnodes('//x:ItemLookupResponse/x:Items/x:Item')
+ )
{
        print $item->firstChild->nodeName, "\n";
        print $item->firstChild->toString, "\n";
        print $xc->findvalue('x:ASIN', $item), "\n";
}
