Re^3: XML::LibXML - parsing question!!

I was only associating the namespace with the first element

Do you mean you "only specified a prefix for the first node test in the XPath"? There's no way to not specify a namespace for a node test in an XPath, so there's no opportunity to default to anything.

`//admin_server:request//action` [download] is short for `/descendant::admin_server:request/child::/child::action` [download] There are three node tests in that path descendant::admin_server:request child::* child::action There is one prefix in that path admin_server There are two namespaces referenced by that path Which ever namespace is associated with admin_server (referenced by descendant::admin_server:request) The null namespace (referenced by child::action) (`*` matches nodes in any namespace)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
