Re^3: XML::Twig Stream root children

[Anonymous Monk]

xml_split does not create valid xml documents.

Sure it does. Observe

$$ echo THIS IS THE SAME AS xml_split -v Herkum.xml
$$ xml_split -v -c "level(1)" Herkum.xml
generating main file Herkum-00.xml
generating Herkum-01.xml
generating Herkum-02.xml
$$ cat Herkum-00.xml && echo
<root>
<?merge  subdocs = 0 :Herkum-01.xml?>
<?merge  subdocs = 0 :Herkum-02.xml?>
</root>
$$ cat Herkum-01.xml && echo
<a>
  <b>Test</b>
</a>
$$ cat Herkum-02.xml && echo
<aa>
  <b>Test</b>
</aa>

You can use "level(1)" with twig_handlers

[mirod]

You can even do xml_split -l 1

[Herkum]

using the 'level(1)' as the Anonymous Monk suggested does the trick. The question I have now, is where is this documented? I only saw one it mentioned once in the XML::Twig POD and I found an example in the unit tests.

Update: I take this back, I did find in the documentation. Though I had never noticed it before. This project has been a good learning experience.
