This has come up about a jillion times before I think...

It took me a while to find this node: 31654. This one sent me off to grab XML::Checker::Parser: 31729.

XML::Checker::Parser, is probably what I want, but I've not yet gotten it to work. *sigh*

When I use the example from the man page for XML::Checker::Parser, I get this:

Can't call method "Start" on an undefined value at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/XML/Checker/Parser.pm line 194.

That line is:

    $_checker->Start ($tag);

Now I figured, 

eval {
    local $XML::Checker::FAIL = \&my_fail;

    $parser->parsefile ($ARGV[0]);
};

[download]

might be wrong... Since, the only place where I could find a $_checker.*= was in sub parse, so I tried this: 

eval {
    local $XML::Checker::FAIL = \&my_fail;

    $parser->parse;
    $parser->parsefile ($ARGV[0]);
};

[download]

Which seemed stupid, but... no more runtime errors. The only problem is, it doesn't detect any errors in my doc either.

*sigh*, and this is just about the only XML validator for perl... So I'm at the end of my rope. Has anyone gotten XML::Checker::Parser to work? What am I don't wrong?
