Hi monks,

I want to know if I can create a new XML element(child) using a $simpleType_nodes->item(0) i.e is a XML::DOM::Element object. The code below is similar to my program. I have a createElement method which does not exist in XML::DOM::Element module thus presently i get an error. If I can create a Element as child how would I do it. Thank you,

Nagesh 
use XML::DOM;

my $parser = new XML::DOM::Parser;
    my $root_node = $parser->parsefile($field_definition_file);

    ##actually returns only one node
    my $simpleType_nodes=$root_node->getElementsByTagName("simpleType"
+);
    $simpleType_nodes->item(0)->createElement("length", value=>$maxlen
+gth_hash{$field_name} );
