Hey Dean, Thanks for the info! That was exactly what I wanted. Phew! After making the XMLScanner available to Perl I can now access getSrcOffset(): print Found element contributors at 53 offset print Found element person at 78 offset print Found element name at 87 offset print Found element email at 114 offset print Found element person at 177 offset print Found element name at 186 offset print Found element email at 213 offset print Found element person at 280 offset print Found element name at 289 offset print Found element email at 323 offset So it seems to be working. Thanks again for your insight into the internals, jas. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
