Hi monks,

Im parsing a xml file which has a link to another file which inturn has a link to another file and so on.. This is achieved by using the xi:include tag.

for example...

<xi:include href="$HOME_ROOT/module/module.xml"/>

When i try to invoke the xinclude parser, it is not able to access the file even though i initialize the variable with a pre-determined path.

How to overcome this issue? I couldnt find any modules that support this scenario..

Thanks,
joe

Update

This is the sample code

use XML::DOM;
use strict;
use File::Find;
use XML::SAX;
use XML::SAX::Writer;
use XML::Filter::XInclude;
use File::Copy;
use IO::File;

my $output = new IO::File "> output.xml";
my $parser = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->parser(
     Handler => XML::Filter::XInclude->new(
        Handler => XML::SAX::Writer->new(Output=>$output)
     )
);
$parser->parse_uri("./project.xml");

[download]

file project.xml

<xi:include href="$HOME_ROOT/module/module1.xml"/>

file module1.xml

<xi:include href="$HOME_ROOT/module/module2.xml"/>

so the output file should ideally contain the contents of module1.xml and module2.xml.
I cant modify the ENV variable to $ENV{variable} because for that i'll ve to access the file 1st.
