Re^2: XML::Twig - provide additional parameters to twig_roots handlers by kejv2 (Acolyte) on Oct 01, 2012 at 19:29 UTC
Ah, so the solution is to use slight closure trick instead of being provided by the module itself, but that's ok. It's a pity that the topic you are referencing isn't properly named. Otherwise I could have maybe found the info myself...	[reply]

The thing is that you may very well want to have several different twig roots with different handlers and different piece of data to pass. XML::Twig could have given you a "pad" within the parser object that you could use to store something in between the handler calls, but (at least according to a quick scan ... I don't use XML::Twig myself) seems mirod did not think it's necessary. Yes, I agree that other thread is a bit hard to find. Jenda Enoch was right! Enjoy the last years of Rome.	[reply]

Well, the XML::Twig object is an old fashion hashref, and I have no plan to change this, so you can always add your own fields to it. Or use a "hidden" attribute (one which names starts with '#') to attach private data to any element, including the root. A closure is the cleanest way to go though. It's not a trick, it's just a common idiom. BTW, a google search on `"XML::Twig passing data to handlers"` (or using `"arguments"` instead of data) returns plenty of answers to that question.	[reply]

The search , she is not google , but she is for programmers :) XML::Twig provide additional parameters to twig_roots handlers XML::Twig provide additional parameters to handlers XML::Twig provide additional parameters XML::Twig provide parameters all lead to XML::Twig - provide additional parameters to twig_roots handlers simplify :) XML::Twig parameter not it [id://547191\|Twig - resolving parameter entity decalarations] bingo Passing parameters for XML::twig handler A parameter is an argument XML::Twig argument bingo Passing additional arguments to XML::Twig handlers So there you have it kejv2, you were so close :D	[reply]


Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
