Using XML::Mini for the first time today. Read in an XML file, modified an attribute and wrote the file back out again. XML::Mini has stripped off the last character of any element names which dont hold data. Such as <element/>. Anyone else had this issue? Works OK when elements with no data in look like  <element> </element> Also works OK when the the empty element looks like

 <element />

Guess I have the answer.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use XML::Mini;
use XML::Mini::Document;
use Data::Dumper;

my $xmlDoc = XML::Mini::Document->new();

#my $in_file_name="W:\\switch_upload\\xml\\batchjob.xml";
#my $out_file_name="W:\\switch_upload\\xml\\batchjob_out.xml";

my $root_dir="/export/home/set/scripts/perl/switch_upload/xml/";
my $in_file_name=$root_dir."batchjob.xml";
my $out_file_name=$root_dir."batchjob_out.xml";

#$xmlDoc->fromFile($in_file_name);
$xmlDoc->parse($in_file_name);
my $var = $xmlDoc->getElement("BATCH");
$var->attribute('name','JCI BATCH December 2003');
#print Dumper($xmlDoc);
$xmlDoc->toFile($out_file_name);
