in thread problem with xml::xpath.pm

i readed one question in perlmonks, that question is extract some part of xml data and create word document. for that question they suggested xml::xpath is best

Well, perhaps "they" were wrong (where is this question?). XML::LibXML should already be installed, so read some other questions and answers (and maybe the documentation), and just use XML::LibXML

    I googled "Can't locate XML/XPath.pm" and found this so I tried to rip/replace XML::XPath with XML::LibXML and poof* H:\programmer\perl>perl find-hostname.pl Can't locate object method "find" via package "XML::LibXML" at find-hostname.pl line 9. 
    use XML::LibXML;
 
my $file = 'y:\tmp\open\HP1.xml';
my $xp = XML::LibXML->new(filename=>$file);
 
# An XML::XPath nodeset is an object which contains the result of
# smacking an XML document with an XPath expression; we'll do just
# this, and then query the nodeset to see what we get.
my $nodeset = $xp->find('//IPHostname');

    so I don't think the 2 libraries are equiv. :)

      I did not say that the APIs were exactly the same. I did suggest reading some documentation. Googling for some examples might be useful also.
