Re: XML lite unblessed reference

[wind]

The selectNodes returns an array reference, not an blessed object:

my $nodes = $doc->selectNodes('/perldata/hello');

print ref($nodes), "\n";

=prints
ARRAY
=cut

What do you suppose this means?

'attributes' => bless( [], 'XML::DOM::Lite::NodeList' ),

XML::DOM::Lite::NodeList - blessed array ref for containing Node objects

Thanks. I thought I was getting a list of Nodes, not an array.

Um, an array is a list of nodes, and you're supposed to be getting both (blessed array reference).
