I'm using XML::Check::Parser to do a DTD validation on a set of files. While it's not a problem to validate a single file, I run into issues when I attempt to use the parsefile() method against multiple files: 
my $checker = new XML::Checker::Parser(Handlers => {});

foreach ($files) {
        print "Checking file $_ ...\n";
        eval    {
            $checker->parsefile($_);
        };
        if ($@) {
            (print $error)
        }
}

What happens is that once the second file is loaded, the checker reports DTD errors that make it look like it still thinks I'm reading in a single file: 
Checking file file1.xml ...
Checking file file2.xml ...
(115, ELEMENT [foo] already defined Element foo line 2 column 67 byte 
+90)
Checking file file3.xml ...
(115, ELEMENT [foo] already defined Element foo line 2 column 67 byte 
+90)
...

I can get around this by putting the my $checker = new XML::Parser::Checker ... line inside the foreach loop, but that seems terribly inelegant to me. Is there a better way to do this? Is there a method in XML::Checker::Parser I'm not seeing to tell it to expect a new complete XML file?
