Re: Valid XML and XML::Simple

I can confirm your symptom (i.e. "no error") when I force XML::Simple to use XML::Parser as its parser. Maybe your configuration uses XML::Parser as its default? Consult the "ENVIRONMENT" section in XML::Simple's documentation.

If I let XML::Simple use XML::SAX as parser (which is my default, since it is installed), I get

Undeclared prefix: person at E:/perl/site/lib/XML/NamespaceSupport.pm 
+line 298.
[download]

Which is "somewhat" similar to the message Anonymous Monk reports in the first reply in this thread (but who -- judging from his message -- uses some other parser).

Thanks for the tip. I am trying to force XML::SAX, but am getting this error `Can't locate object method "new" via package "XML::SAX" at /exlibris/p +roduct/perl-5.8.7/lib/site_perl/5.8.7/XML/SAX/ParserFactory.pm line 4 +3.` [download] I will keep working on it	[reply] [d/l]

From http://search.cpan.org/dist/XML-Simple/lib/XML/Simple.pm#Caveats: Names in XML must begin with a letter. The remaining characters may be letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_) or full stops (.). It is also allowable to include one colon (:) in an element name but this should only be used when working with namespaces (XML::Simple can only usefully work with namespaces when teamed with a SAX Parser). From http://search.cpan.org/dist/XML-Simple/lib/XML/Simple.pm#SEE_ALSO: To generate documents with namespaces, XML::NamespaceSupport is required. Jim	[reply]
