For me it appears that XML::XSLT croaks when it tries to open an external XML file. Line 62 of blog.xsl confirms it:

    <xsl:for-each select="document('menu.xml')/menu/item">

Have you provided the file menu.xml for the XSLT processor? I guess you have not...:-)

What really makes me wonder here is that XML::LibXSLT gives fairly sane output, even without the menu.xml file. Now this is really strange! Though, I admit that I am not really an expert of XSLT....

Update: after setting the debug_callback for XML::LibXSLT it seems that the parser just silently ignores the missing file here (only noing that the for-each did not produce a node list). XML::XSLT appears to be much more picky here...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
