The XML::LibXML family might work for you. You need to parse the DTD -- XML::LibXML::Dtd -- and apply it against the document. `$doc->validate($dtd)` I'm not sure how well this works but I often use XML::LibXML for parsing XHTML fragments as a cheap well-formedness validation. If it parses, it's well-formed (though not necessarily correct XHTML). Sorry I don't have a snippet for you. Update: I just tried a test and it looks like straight `$doc->validate()` and the non-fatal `$doc->is_valid()` work fine against the DTD declared in the document. I think you only have to pass it the DTD if you want to apply an external/custom set of rules to the document.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you monks for enlightening me, XML::LibXML::Dtd worked for me. Cheers, Gaurav Talwar "Wisdom begins in wonder" - Socrates, philosopher	[reply]

XHTML is a schema of XML, so perhaps XML::Validator::Schema? (Never used or heard of it before.)	[reply]

I very much doubt XML::Validator::Schema can parse the XHTML schema. It's a useful module (if I do say so myself) but it only implements part of the XML Schema spec. Patches welcome, of course! -sam	[reply]
