Re: XMLin is not identifying the input file name passed to it

The docs say

If the filename contains no directory components XMLin() will look for the file in each directory in the SearchPath (see "OPTIONS" below) or in the current directory if the SearchPath option is not defined.

The search path is initialized to something based on $0. In this case, it's incorrectly initialized to ['']. Try

$data = $xml->XMLin($file, SearchPath => '.');

thanks a lot for solving this Issue. added the working code here. `#!/usr/bin/perl my $file = shift; use XML::Simple; die "Can't find file \"$file\"" unless -f $file; $xml = new XML::Simple; print "Input file :$file:\n"; # read XML file $data = $xml->XMLin("/full_path_name/$file");` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

got the following error `Code change : $data = $xml->XMLin($file,SearchPath => '.'); OUTPUT Input file :layer.xml: Unrecognised option: SearchPath at parse_report_layerxml.pl line 13` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

oops! I meant `$data = $xml->XMLin($file, SearchPath => ['.']);` [download] But that's not the error your getting. What version are you using? It might have been called `searchpath` in your version. `$data = $xml->XMLin($file, searchpath => ['.']);` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I assume you are asking about my perl version `Summary of my perl5 (revision 5.0 version 6 subversion 1) configuratio +n: Platform: osname=hpux, osvers=11.00, archname=PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi uname='hp-ux llbertha b.11.00 u 9000800 2002402864 unlimited-user +license '` [download] I have no idea on how to check the module version.

Do you know where your variables are?
