in reply to XML validating (no DTD)

I don't see any DTD declared in the XML or the code. If you don't have a schema to validate against, you can't validate an XML document. Checking for well-formed is different, and something most parsers should report on. XML::Checker::Parser looks like it only validates against DTDs declared in the document.

You can also validate against XML Schema or RELAX NG. I don't know of any pure Perl code for those, but calling external programs and libraries work well.

    Hi

    I just found the solution on perlmonks, it is so easy: 
    use XML::Parser;

my $p = XML::Parser->new;
my $file = 'data.xml';

eval { $p->parsefile($file) };

if ($@) {
  print 'XML is not well formed';
} else {
  print 'XML is well formed';
}

    Ofcoure, I can't validate XML, if I don't have DTD, I can check it if it is well formed, sorry for mistake.
