Hi All,
I have a strange problem. Please inspect the following code: 
use XML::Twig::XPath;

my $t = XML::Twig->new( twig_roots   => 
                        { 
                            'BalancerStatus/WebServer/OverallConnectio
+nPoolStatus' => \&section,    
                           }); 
$t->parsefile( 'localhost.xml');

#
sub section {
    my ($t, $section) = @_;

    print $section->get_xpath( q{//OverallConnectionPoolStatus/FlowRat
+er[Name='Total.IncomingReq']} );
    $t->purge;
}

When I run it on an xml file I receive:
error in xpath expression //OverallConnectionPoolStatus/FlowRater[Name= ...
I decided to check this exact expression in the XML::XPath itself, and there, I have no errors, I even get a desired result! I used the following code: 
    use XML::XPath;
    use XML::XPath::XMLParser;
    
    my $xp = XML::XPath->new(filename => 'chunk.xml');
    
    my $nodeset = $xp->find( q{//OverallConnectionPoolStatus/FlowRater
+[Name='Total.IncomingReq']} ); # find all paragraphs
    
    foreach my $node ($nodeset->get_nodelist) {
        print "FOUND\n\n", 
            XML::XPath::XMLParser::as_string($node),
            "\n\n";
    }

Strange! Can someone help ?
