Wait, are you saying I need to create a new XML::LibXML::XPathContext object for each node as I loop through them?!

I modified my code in the following way:

# Parse items foreach my $item ($xml->findnodes('/x:ItemLookupResponse/x:Items/x:Ite +m', $parser)){ my $item_xml = XML::LibXML::XPathContext->new($item); $item_xml->registerNs('x', 'http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSE +CommerceService/2013-08-01'); print $item_xml->findvalue('x:ASIN'), "\n"; print $item_xml->findnodes('x:ASIN')->shift->textContent, "\n" +; }

And bingo!

Oy vey! Wouldn't it be much more convenient if a XML::LibXML::XPathContext object calling the findnodes() method returned another XML::LibXML::XPathContext object, rather than a XML::LibXML::Node or XML::LibXML::Element object?

I haven't pulled this much hair in one day for a coding-related reason IN YEARS.

    No, what gave you that idea?

    All XML::LibXML::XPathContext does is map prefixes to namespaces, and that only needs to be done once.

    See https://metacpan.org/pod/XML::LibXML::Node#findnodes
