No. Trees and XML::XPath objects are not nodes, and node objects are not XML::XPath objects. Trees have a node for root, and nodes belong to a tree. There are no is-a relationship between the two, just has-a relationships.	[reply]

No. A tree is an organization of nodes. And to search that tree, you have to employ the "XPath searcher" that lives in XML::XPath. You can't intermix methods from the searcher and the tree.	[reply]
