Hi Monks,

i use XML::LibXML for several years. Actually, i wanted to read an xml file containing some xinclude statements. I expected XML::LibXML to perform the include, but it doesn't. Example:

XML file foo.xml: 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<foo>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
            href="bar.xml"/>
</foo>

[download]

XML file bar.xml: 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<bar>
  This is bar.xml!
</bar>

[download]

Perl code: 

use strict;
use warnings;

use XML::LibXML;

my $dom = XML::LibXML->load_xml(location => "foo.xml");

print $dom->toString(1);

[download]

The above perl script prints: 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<foo>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="bar.xml"/
+>
</foo>

[download]

Obviously, the <xi:include.../> has not been executed. Is there a way to tell XML::LibXML to do an include? Or is there another XML module that does the job?
