Re^2: XML::Simple, ForceArray, ForceContent and DTD/Schema

Thanks. I will do (1), I don't think the (2) should actually be a module. It's IMHO rather a task for a script, than a module. Something you run once when developing the script or module for that particular XML format. Though I'm afraid I can only write the one for DTDs, unless I'm forced to learn Schemas which I do hope I never will.

If I was going to do #2 for XML Schema I'd start by adding schema data to the stream produced by XML::Validator::Schema. Then I'd create a handler which uses this sweetened data to create sensible defaults for ForceArray and ForceContent in XML::Simple. Give XML Schema a try some time. I've found if you stay away from the nuttier features it can be a pretty reasonable, if verbose, alternative to DTDs (which I loathe). To help you keep it simple (heh) XML::Validator::Schema only supports a small subset of the standard anyway. -sam	[reply]
