I'm using XML::XPath for a long time to parse xml, now the situation has come to modify the attribute value.

xml is available in a file, it will be very similar to this.

<AppName>

<Action AllDay='1'StartRace='1'/>

<StartPoint AM_PM='AM' Hours='09' Mins='30'/>

<EndPoint AM_PM='PM' Hours='06' Mins='30'/>

</AppName>

I have written a perl script to change the Hours of StartPoint tag,
use strict; use warnings; use XML::Twig; my $fileName = 'Conf.xml' my $twig = XML::Twig->new( twig_roots => { StartPoint => \&ReplaceAtriValue }, twig_print_outside_roots => 1, ); sub ReplaceAtriValue { my ($twig, $startPoint) = @_; if ( '09' eq $startPoint->att('Hours') ) { $startPoint->set_att( Hours => '12'); } $startPoint->print(); } $twig->parsefile($fileName);
Now $twig has the xml object. If I send this object($twig) to my SetWindow.pm which parse xml using XML::XPath, did not recognize $twig object.

Is there any possible way to convert XML::Twig object to XML::XPath object so that XML::XPath will parse values in the $twig object.

Actually I have using XML::XPath for long back hence I have to send the XML::XPath object to all my own *.pm like SetWindow.pm, at the same time i need to change the values of the attribute of the standard xml before sending to my own PMs.

Thanks in Advance

Any Help is much appreciated
