in reply to How can i validate xml file?

Not perl, but if your on a linux os, then check if xmllint is installed, this can be used to validate your xml in superfast time, 

system("xmllint --noout foo.xml") and die "Failed!";

    Hi monkey_boy,

    Thanks kool, It's working fine. But, I am getting xml content is it possible to check. And also, i am not allow here to use system function i want sample code.. For ex if i validate xml file with xsd file i use below code like i want code please 

    use XML::LibXML;

my $schema_file = 'po.xsd';
my $document    = 'po.xml';

my $schema = XML::LibXML::Schema->new(location => $schema_file);

my $parser = XML::LibXML->new;
my $doc    = $parser->parse_file($document);

eval { $schema->validate($doc) };
die $@ if $@;

print "$document validated successfully\n";

      If your input data is not well-formed XML (and I assume that's what you're asking about) then the parse_file call will die. Put a eval around that call and check the value in $@ after parse_file returns.
