Ah, I didn't see that bit in what you wrote. That's done with XML::Filter::Dispatcher (which you can also find on search.cpan.org), which multiplexes based on XPath statements. Currently X:F:D can't be used directly as a Distributor in XML::SAX::Machines' Manifold system, but hopefully it will be able to "soon". :-) -- <!-- Matt --> <:->Get a smart net</:-> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
