[OneDreamCloser]

hello perlmonks, i am asking for your wisdom using the eXist database, and what i am wondering is: how can i see that my call

my $eXist = XML::eXistDB::RPC->new( destination=>$eXist_db, repository
+=>$bank, user=>"admin", password=>"pass" ) ;

is successful or not ? i have tried

isa_ok($eXist, "XML::eXistDB::RPC") ;

but no dice :( thank you

but no dice :( thank you

"no dice" is another form of "doesn't work", which isn't sufficiently diagnostic :) see How do I post a question effectively?

for my $Ref ( \(my$f), [], {}, ){
    print $Ref, "\n";
    bless $Ref, "XML::eXistDB::RPC"; 
    print "\t", ref $Ref, "\n";
}
