I'm not sure what the problem could be (and I don't have a windows perl available at the moment) but this works for me on linux: `use strict; use XML::XSLT; my $xmlFilename = '/home/joost/input.xml'; my $xslFilename = '/home/joost/input.xsl'; (my $outFilename = $xmlFilename) =~ s/\.xml$/\.csv/i; my $xslt = XML::XSLT->new($xslFilename, warnings => 1); $xslt->transform($xmlFilename); print $xslt->toString;` [download] Can't help you much further than that, though. update: did you update the XML modules, or where they already at the latest version? You can check by doing `perl -MXML::XSLT -e'print "$XML::XSLT::VERSION\n"'` [download] and similar for XML::Parser "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"

When I paste the above in my Windows XP command line to check the version, I get: `Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.` [download] However, I put this in a script file: `use XML::XSLT; print "$XML::XSLT::VERSION\n";` [download] and then it prints: `0.48` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hmm, windows shell escaping is a mystery to me. Anyway, 0.48 is the same version I've got. update: you can probably get away with `perl -MXML::XSLT -e'print $XML::XSLT::VERSION'` [download] "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply] [d/l]

On the one hand, the documentation says you should use "base" as an argument to the transform call. On the other hand, I tried that and I still get that error. Nobody says perl looks like line-noise any more kids today don't know what line-noise IS ...	[reply]

hey, i had the same problem using parser.pm on windows xp machine for absolute paths. solved by adding "file:///" on the beginning of the path ex: `XML::XSLT->new ("file:///C:/mypath/to/something.xsl" );`	[reply] [d/l]
