The parse_whatever() functions return an XML::LibXML::Document object (so "man XML::LibXML::Document"). You can call $doc->documentElement to receive an XML::LibXML::Element object (actually it'll be XML::LibXML::Text or XML::LibXML::Node or whatever). You can check its type, retrieve children, set attributes, etc. They're all Perl functions that call to the underlying C structure. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
