"You are aware that you have free access to all of the source code involved, right?"

indeed, but alas, I am not a Perl Monk. I am more of a Perl Acolyte wannabe. I did try to run that very test manually, but could not make sense of the output. Here's a sample:

perl -Mblib t/02parse.t

I looked at the 02parse.t code, but could not spot anything.

Being that it seems related to XML parsing, I updated XML::SAX and XML::SAX::Base, in the hopes that it would help. It did not. Ironically, it did fix my original Perl code issue, which was why I was trying to package XML::LibXML in the first place. I'd still like to figure out this problem, though.

• 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.
