Hey Geert,
Welcome back to Xerces!
Check out the examples in the samples/ directory. Anyone of them will
work for you. For example:
perl samples/DOMCount -v foo.xml
will validate the file foo.xml using the DOM interface. It creates a
DOMParser instance, an InputSource instance, sets the validation
scheme, and then calls parse() on the input source.
The tests in the t/ directory give a lot of low-level examples as
opposed to the more complete ones in samples/.
Also, I do recommend using the Xerces-C documentation:
http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/apiDocs/index.html
They are very complete, and the Xerces.pm API maps almost 1-to-1 with
the Xerces-C API. The only differences are specifically dealt with in
the README:
Even though Xerces.pm is based on the C++ API, it has been modified in
a few ways to make it more accessible to typical Perl usage, primarily
in the handling:
* strings (DOMString, XMLCh, and perl string)
* lists (DOM_NodeList and perl list)
* hashes (DOM_NamedNodeMap and perl hash)
* DOMParse.pm (for serializing a DOM tree)
* implementing Perl handlers for C++ event callbacks
* handling exceptions C++ ({XML,DOM,SAX}Exception's)
HTH,
jas.
PS. I'm also accepting volunteers to help improved the "limited"
documentation ...
