Re^4: XML::Twig Stream root children

Unless I'm overlooking something, a new feature could be to have an option to omit the merge file (00) and instead have the root wrapped around each output file, ie foo.xml

<root>
<a>
  <b>Test</b>
</a>
<aa>
  <b>Test</b>
</aa>
</root>
[download]

becomes 2 files, foo-01.xml

<root>
<a>
  <b>Test</b>
</a>
</root>
[download]

and foo-02.xml

<root>
<aa>
  <b>Test</b>
</aa>
</root>
[download]

I may be overlooking something here. The generated "split files" would consist of the 'a' or 'aa', or whatever other level 1 element. So correct me if I'm wrong, but the only thing missing would be the '<root>' first line and '</root>' last line, right? Adding those to each of the files is left as an exercise to the reader.	[reply]

I want to break one huge XML document into multiple stand-alone documents. The application that would use this is not smart enough to to handle 'subdocs'. I was also looking at a streaming solution, which is what I assumed twig_handlers would do. The reason is that the document I want to break is 500MB(don't ask, I did not do it!) and there is no way it will fit into memory.	[reply]
