( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I'm trying to figure out XML::LibXML. It's rough going. I need to be able to access the text content of a node by name. Here is my code:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use XML::LibXML; my $string = qq~<?xml version="1.0"?> <ItemLookupResponse xmlns="http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceS +ervice/2013-08-01"> <Items> <Item> <ASIN>B01KI4JSQY</ASIN> </Item> </Items> </ItemLookupResponse> ~; my $parser = XML::LibXML->new->load_xml(string => $string, {no_blanks +=> 1}); my $xml = XML::LibXML::XPathContext->new($parser); $xml->registerNs('x', 'http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceServi +ce/2013-08-01'); # Parse items foreach my $item ($xml->findnodes('/x:ItemLookupResponse/x:Items/x:Ite +m', $parser)){ print $item->firstChild->nodeName, "\n"; print $item->firstChild->toString, "\n"; print $item->findvalue('ASIN'), "\n"; print $item->findvalue('./ASIN'), "\n"; print $item->findvalue('./ASIN', $item), "\n"; }

Expected result:

ASIN <ASIN>B01KI4JSQY</ASIN> B01KI4JSQY B01KI4JSQY B01KI4JSQY

Actual result:

ASIN <ASIN>B01KI4JSQY</ASIN>

Probably I'm just misunderstanding something in the docs. But I don't know what it is. I tried $item->findvalue('x:ASIN'), but that threw an error. Please help. I have a family. If I become an alcoholic, they will suffer.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
