I found this interesing node: 1003089 and tried to adopt it to my problem.

This is the code I have:

#!/opt/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use XML::LibXML;

use Data::Dumper;

my $parser = XML::LibXML->new;
my $doc = $parser->load_xml(
    location =>shift,
    validation => 0,
    load_ext_dtd => 0,
);
my $xpc = XML::LibXML::XPathContext->new; 
$xpc->registerNs( xml => "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" );

print "result: ";
foreach my $node ($xpc->findnodes('/*', $doc)) {
    print $node->nodeName,"\n"; 
}
# result: html
print "\n";

print "result: ";
foreach my $node ($xpc->findnodes('/html', $doc)) {
    print $node->nodeName,"\n"; 
}
# result: 
print "\n";

print "result: ";
foreach my $node ($xpc->findnodes('/xml:html', $doc)) {
    print $node->nodeName,"\n"; 
}
# result: 
print "\n";

You see? When I use "/*" as my query, I get my html node. But when I use "/html" or "/xml:html", I get nothing.

What's wrong with my code - or my lack of understanding of XML::LibXML?

For completeness, here is the beginning of my XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding ="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"
  xmlns:epub="epub"
  >
    <head>

Update: When I remove the namespace from the file, it seems to work :(

s$$([},&%#}/&/]+}%&{})*;#$&&s&&$^X.($'^"%]=\&(|?*{%
+.+=%;.#_}\&"^"-+%*).}%:##%}={~=~:.")&e&&s""`$''`"e

In reply to XML::LibXML and Namespace… I don't get it by Skeeve

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
