Re^2: XML::Twig usage incomprehension

Well, $job->{'att'}->{'attributename'} actually breaks the encapsulation. The proper way would be $job->att( 'attributename'). Which of course begs the question: Have you ever tried perldoc XML::Twig? ;--) (or looking at the XML::Twig Quick Reference?)

I can't really blame you though, I tend to do the same thing: when I start working with a module, I use the debugger to figure out its implementation, and often "forget" to read the API.

I read it a thousand times or more. Not from top to bottom, but using `/searchword` and then reading. I actually never read anything about `$job->att('attributename')` and was always asking myself, why I had to use a hash here. I never had the idea to search further.

I tried this method but still have no results :( Though,I'm sure that I should get some .... Is there something wrong with my code? `use strict; use XML::Twig; my $t= new XML::Twig(); my $root = $t->root; $t->parsefile( 'T:\\BI\\Jerome\\xml\\tree.xml'); exit; sub job { my ($t, $root)= @_; my %job; $job{Attr_name}= $root->{'att'}->{'Name'}; $job{Attr_value}= $root->{'att'}->{'Value'}; print "$job{Attr_name}: $job{Attr_value}\n"; $root->delete; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

There are no attributes called 'Name' or 'Value' in your Element named 'Job'. `<Job Identifier="adresses" DateModified="2006-03-28" TimeModified=" +17.15.15">` [download] `s$$([},&%#}/&/]+}%&{});#$&&s&&$^X.($'^"%]=\&(\|?{%` `+`.+=%;.#_}\&"^"-+%*).}%:##%}={~=~:.")&e&&s""`$''`"e	[reply] [d/l] [select]

OK, thanks for the clue! I can't swear I already used this method but it seems familiar to me.... Though, I know the perloc -f command but the twig one seems too much complex for me...nobody's perfect ;) The twig web site got some examples too, I tried to adapt these examples to my needs but with no success. I'll try this code portion tommorrow and will keep you informed about the results. Regards. Jerome.	[reply]
