Applying XSL stylesheet specified in XML file to the XML
I don't know how to tell what href is relative to, but even just to get the value of href is a bit gimpy for "processing instructions", which is what <? ... ?> are.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use XML::LibXML;
my $parser = XML::LibXML->new;
my $doc = $parser->parse_string(<<'EOX');
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href ='abc"efg'?>
<_/>
EOX
foreach my $node ($doc->findnodes('//processing-instruction()')) {
my $name = $node->nodeName;
if ($name eq 'xml-stylesheet') {
# getData is a string like q{type="text/xsl" href="/test.xsl"}
# which is what makes it annoying
my $attr_str = $node->getData;
# manually parse the string like href='abc"efg';
# there might be a better way of doing this
$attr_str =~ m{href\s*=\s*(['"])([^\1]+)\1};
my $href = defined $2 ? $2 : '';
print "$name href: >>>$href<<<\n";
}
}
