in reply to HTML::HTML5::Parser weirdness

You don't show us how you populate $filename.

Maybe the file does not exist, or $filename has whitespace at the end. When I try a mock program without an existing file, I get a very similar output:

#!perl use strict; use warnings; use XML::LibXML; use HTML::HTML5::Parser; my $p = HTML::HTML5::Parser->new(); my $doc = $p->parse_file('file:///this/doesnotexist.html', { ignore_http_response_code => 1, }, ); print $doc->toString;

Output:

Use of uninitialized value $c_type in pattern match (m//) at /home/cor +ion/perl5/lib/perl5/HTML/HTML5/Parser.pm line 59. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head/><body/></html>

If you can show us a short and self-contained example (SSCCE), then that would remove a lot of guesswork and maybe helps us find the root of the problem better.
