Re^2: Namespaced XML::LibXML XPath query

in thread Namespaced XML::LibXML XPath query

So what you're saying is my xpath needs to be written like this:


$doc->findnodes('//myns:root/myns:stuff/myns:items/myns:book');
[download]

Given the following:


<root xmlns="http://goobar/xml" xmlns:myns="http://goobar/xml">
  <stuff>
    <items>
       <book>XML Namespaces</book>
    </items>
  </stuff>
</root>
[download]

That is really an ugly xpath expression.
