in thread accessing root tags when using XML::Twig and twig_roots

Couldn't you do two passes against the file? First create a twig with the start_tag_handler to get whatever it is you need. Then use that information to create a second twig for the actual processing. Would that work or am I missing something? As mirod mentions some sample code and data might help clear things up.

Yes, that is an option, now that I know how to quit once I find what was needed. Someone said that `die` from a handler will do the trick, presumably without leaving the module in a funny state.	[reply] [d/l]
