this only happens in top level message 
this one i could re edit

on to the topic at hand i ve also found
XML::QL by Matt S. 
which works a lot nicer 
out of the gate

oracles XSQL is what i think im heading towards

http://technet.oracle.com/tech/xml/xsql_servlet/htdocs/relnotes.htm

seems to be more of what i want
but there is no modules avail yet


anyone?

I don't think XML::QL is very well supported these days, Matt seems to be working a lot more on XML::XPath or XPathScript

I suggest you contact him before using XML::QL for anything serious. QL is not even an official W3C recommendation, it's just a note, which just means that someone wrote it and sent it to the W3C, nothing more.

righto!
XML is a funny thing 
turning out to be more like java every day

in at least the cross compatibility stuffs
{engine incompatiility} 
ive found xml-xql xml-ql and there is also 
xsql

which has no perl modules 
but which is what im looking for
basically it takes a sql statement 
inside of an xml file
take the xslt and bam fills
it in 

there is a servlet oracle is developing
