Re^4: xml::xslt xpath bug?

Okay, a more general question. What Perl Module(s) would you use to get bits of information out of an xml file and put them into an Excel file? I tried XML::Parser but found it dropped lots of data when it read xml into an array (and I had the same problem when I tried read xml into a hash).

I use XML::LibXML to do my XML parsing (fastest I've found, very complete, very reliable, clean interface), and I use XPaths (via `findnodes`) to extract data from the resulting tree. Example: `my @forms = $xpc->findnodes('/plm:PLMXML/plm:Form'); for my $form (@forms) { print( $form->getAttribute('subClass'), "\n" ); ... }` [download] Example: `my ($form) = $xpc->findnodes( '/plm:PLMXML/plm:Form[subClass="Part Revision Master"]' ) or die("Can't find Part Revision Master form\n"); print($form->getAttribute('id'), "\n"); # id24` [download] Update: Added examples.

XML::LibXML

findnodes

Example:

my @forms = $xpc->findnodes('/plm:PLMXML/plm:Form');

for my $form (@forms) {
    print( $form->getAttribute('subClass'), "\n" );
    ...
}

Example:

my ($form) = $xpc->findnodes(
    '/plm:PLMXML/plm:Form[subClass="Part Revision Master"]'
)
    or die("Can't find Part Revision Master form\n");

print($form->getAttribute('id'), "\n");  # id24
