Hi, I want to split an xml file with the help of processing instructions. Every file should contain all the contents between two <?split ?> pis. The file name should contain the contents of the first and the last <no>-Element. example: Beispiel:

<?split ?>
<h1>text</h1>
<text>
Textinhalt
<no>4</no>
</text>
text ... text
<no>18</no>
<h6>text</h6>
<?split ?>
<text>...</text>
[download]

in the above example the file name should be test-nr4to18.xml and it should contain

<h1>text</h1>
<text>
Textinhalt
<no>4</no>
</text>
text ... text
<no>18</no>
<h6>text</h6>
[download]

I would like to use an XML module (eg. XML::Twig) but how do I get the contents between the Pis into a node set for further processing? Can anybody help me? Thanks Wolfgang
