And somewhere in an other place of the code ... (Assuming a global XML element 'country' existed in you schema and hence been generated by Pastor).

  my $country = MyApp::Data::country->from_xml_file('/some/path/to/cou
+ntry.xml');    # retrieve from a file

+ile handle  
  $country = MyApp::Data::country->from_xml_dom($dom);    # or from DO
+M  (a XML::LibXML::Node or XML::LibXML::Document)

  # or from an XML string
  $country = MyApp::Data::country->from_xml_string(<<'EOF');
  
  <?xml version="1.0"?>
