XML::Smart and Ordering Nodes in Order Created

hackdaddy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi. I am experimenting with the XML::Smart module. It seems straightforward so far. However, I cannot create child elements under the same node and have them remain in the order they were created when printing out the tree. The order in which the element was created is critical for the program to work correctly.

The documentation is sparse on the syntax for creating nodes and ordering them.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

As the author of XML::Smart, please, can you give some sample of your code to see what you are doing? And what version of XML::Smart are you using? Graciliano M. P. "Creativity is the expression of the liberty".	[reply]

Sample code: my $DATA2 = q`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <html> <head> <title>Blah blah</title> </head> <body> <form> <input id="0"/> <br/> <input id="2"/> <br/> </form> </body> </html> `; my $x = XML::Smart->new( $DATA2 ); print $x->data( noheader => 1 ); The result is: <br/><br/> <html> <head> <title>Blah blah</title> </head> <body> <form> <input id="0"/> <input id="2"/> </form> </body> </html> [download]	[reply] [d/l]
