It took me a little while to figure out how to load a local XML file, so I figured I'd post it in case anyone else needed to do such a thing.
use IO::File;
...
my $fileStream = new IO::File ("yourDocumentName.xml");
...
my $parser = new XML::Parser
( Handlers =>
{ # Creates our parser object
Start => \&hdl_start,
End => \&hdl_end,
Char => \&hdl_char,
Default => \&hdl_def,
}
);
...
$parser->parse($fileStream);
It's not very complicated, but I figured I'd post it as a reference.
Great tutorial - very useful - Thanks.
A Quick revision: I was just notified by OeufMayo that there is another way to read in the file that I entirely missed. Apparently, you can also use:
$parser->parsefile($filename)
I guess that would have been a lot easier in the first place. :-D

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).

are good places to start.
