Hello,

Warning XML and Perl newbie. I've created a DOM tree from XML::LibXML::SAX::Builder and the structure is roughly as follows: 

<Message>
  <Body>...Base64_Encoded_Text...</Body>
</Message>

[download]
I need to replace the Base64 encode text with its decoded value. So far I've been able to decode the contents of the Body with the following: 
.
.
.
my $dom = $generator->execute("exec $opt_hash{sp} \'$opt_dates{start}\
+', \'$opt_dates{end}\'");
my $root = $dom->getDocumentElement;
my @bodies = $root->getElementsByTagName('Body');

for (my $i = 0; $i < scalar(@bodies); $i++) {
    print decode_base64($bodies[$i]->getFirstChild->getData); 
}
.
.
.

However, I'd like to modify the tree directly and not just the list that gets returned from getElementsByName. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Jay
