I don't know how to use XML::LibXML, but this is simple using XML::Twig

use warnings;
use strict;
use XML::Twig;

my $myXML = <<EOF;
<?xml version="1.0"?>
 <reports xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
 <xi:include href="xinclude.xml" parse='xml' />
 </reports>
EOF
my $t = XML::Twig->new(twig_handlers => {'xi:include' => sub { print $
+_->att('href') } });
$t->parse($myXML);

__END__

xinclude.xml

Hum, something's not right because you use a prefix you never define.

Yup, doesn't work :( It only finds one of the includes in

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<reports
   xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
   xmlns:xinclude="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
<xi:include href="xinclude.xml" parse="xml" />
<xinclude:include href="xinclude.xml" parse="xml" />
<include xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="xinclude.xml" p
+arse="xml" />
</reports>

I never used the XML::Twig... and it's not installed on my system now. It's big! but it might help though...

I hoped to remain in the XML::LibXML realm actually

Thanks

The Swiss Army Knife® of XML in Perl ... IMHO ... is a twig.
