in thread Xml::Twig:Xpath Xpath expression error

Thank you.
It didn't help. By adding @ to the Name I escaped the error message but didn't get a desired result! Why with the same expression XML:XPath get me good output?
Portion of the xml this sub will process:
<OverallConnectionPoolStatus> <FlowRater> <Name>Total.IncomingReq</Name> <Rate>0</Rate> <LastMinRate>0</LastMinRate> <Counter>209</Counter> </FlowRater><FlowRater> <Name>Total.RejectedReq</Name> <Rate>0</Rate> <LastMinRate>0</LastMinRate> <Counter>0</Counter> </FlowRater><FlowRater> <Name>Total.AcceptedReq</Name> <Rate>0</Rate> <LastMinRate>0</LastMinRate> <Counter>209</Counter> </FlowRater><FlowRater> <Name>Total.FailedSendResponse</Name> <Rate>0</Rate> <LastMinRate>0</LastMinRate> <Counter>0</Counter> </FlowRater><FlowRater> <Name>Total.RejectedRetry</Name> <Rate>0</Rate> <LastMinRate>0</LastMinRate> <Counter>0</Counter> </FlowRater><FlowRater> <Name>Total.IncomingRetry</Name> <Rate>0</Rate> <LastMinRate>0</LastMinRate> <Counter>0</Counter> </FlowRater><FlowRater> <Name>Total.RejectedLastRetry</Name> <Rate>0</Rate> <LastMinRate>0</LastMinRate> <Counter>0</Counter> </FlowRater></OverallConnectionPoolStatus>

    After reviewing your actual XML - it looks like your XPath is incorrect for your intentions. I don't see any attriubes in your XML.

    Try something more like //OverallConnectionPoolStatus/FlowRater/Name/text() to reference your information.

    The previous XPath's are attempting to search for attributes in the FlowRater node. What you actually have is a child node called Name with some information in it.

    As far as why this works in some modules, and not in others I would postulate that the designer included this as a "feature" to help others out. - Or maybe you found a bug.
      I still cant make it to work :(
      The xpath expression you suggested:
      //OverallConnectionPoolStatus/FlowRater/Name/text()
      Still makes Twig crash! Why? it is a valid xpath expression!
