I'm trying to use std.xml, and I can't get it to work.
I tried the simplest program I could think of:

import std.xml;
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
	auto parser = new DocumentParser("<?xml version=\"1.0\" 
encoding=\"utf-8\"?><device></device>");
    parser.onStartTag["device"] = (ElementParser parser)
    {
        writeln("device");
    };
    parser.parse();     
}

I used it before without any trouble.  Is it somehow seriously 
broken?  If not, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

I don't know about your code specifically, but std.xml has been 
on the chopping block for many years and is pretty much still 
around because nobody has written a replacement yet. I'd 
recommend using Adam Ruppe's DOM library instead:
