    Thanks, AM, that did the trick. I assumed when XML::SAX::PurePerl was loaded via Twig I could just piggyback off of it. I didn't know I had to explicitly 'use' it in my script as well.

      unless it is loaded before you try overriding, it will overrides your override, and the only way to be sure is to load it yourself first.
