It occurred to me when I was writing Data::Find that xpath would be useful - so yes, absolutely - patches welcome, thanks :) It's on github: git://github.com/AndyA/Data--Find.git The easiest thing (for me :) is if you clone it on github and then issue a pull request when you're done. -- Andy Armstrong, Hexten
