in thread Couldn’t create file parser context for file "somename.xml"

I bet you do something silly like `ls` and you don't properly extract the line feeds.

Place the following just before the code you posted: 

use Cwd;
use Data::Dumper;
print("cwd = ", getcwd(), "\n");
print("files:\n", do {
    local $Data::Dumper::Useqq = 1;
    Dumper(\@files);
});

What do you get?

    Hello, After adding the code proposed I get the following: 
    $ perl parseXML.pl "D:\Perl-Implementaion\ParseXM
L\test"
cwd = /cygdrive/D/Perl-Implementaion/ParseXML
files:
$VAR1 = [
          "bb.xml",
          "bbCopy.xml"
        ];
bb.xml
className= org.argouml.uml.cognitive.critics.CrClassMustBeAbstract
methodName= predicate2(Object,Designer)
bbCopy.xml
Could not create file parser context for file "bbCopy.xml": No such fi
+le or dire

    You see both files are there. By the way I do not "ls". To get the files in a directory I have the following in the beginning of my script: 
    use XML::LibXML;

$ARGV[0] || die; 

$path=$ARGV[0];
 
# open the designated directory
opendir(DIR, $path);
@files = grep(/\.xml$/,readdir(DIR));

    Thanks for helping me.

      You're telling XML::Parser to open
      /cygdrive/D/Perl-Implementaion/ParseXML/bb.xml
      and
      /cygdrive/D/Perl-Implementaion/ParseXML/bbCopy.xml

      but the files you want to open are
      D:\Perl-Implementaion\ParseXML\test\bb.xml
      and
      D:\Perl-Implementaion\ParseXML\test\bbCopy.xml

      Notice the missing "test". Fix: 

      my @files =
    map "$path/$_",
    grep /\.xml\z/,
    readdir(DIR);

        Hi, Thanks!!! I added the "map.." part and it worked. But what was wrong with my code? you are telling that I am telling XML::Parser to open 
        /cygdrive/D/Perl-Implementaion/ParseXML/bb.xml

        [download]
        and 
        /cygdrive/D/Perl-Implementaion/ParseXML/bbCopy.xml

        [download]
        But I pass the address of the directory in which the files are located as a parameter to my script: 
        perl parseXML.pl "D:\Perl-Implementaion\ParseXML\test"

        [download]
        So what is wrong in this??
