I am not completely clear about your intention and may repeat something you already know:

XML::LibXML::XPathContext->registerNs doesn't modify the context node (document) in any way, it only maps the prefixes to namespaces. This mapping has nothing common with namespace mapping in any element.

When looking for nodes via:

$xc->findnodes('//*/info/fooTransaction/transactionDetail/histFile:tra +nsactionSummary/*')
the namespace qualified element names are compared. In xpath context the histFile:transactionSummary is mapped to <urn:histFile>transactionSummary, while the fully qualified name of histFile::transactionSummary element in your document is <http://yet.another.arbitrary.url/>transactionSummary, so they don't match.

In XPath you can also look by local or qualified name of the element.

# looking by local-name $xc->findnodes('//*/info/fooTransaction/transactionDetail/*[local-name +() = "transactionSummary"]/*'); # looking by qualified name $xc->findnodes('//*/info/fooTransaction/transactionDetail/*[name() = " +histFile:transactionSummary"]/*');
In this case you can call findnodes method on any node, you don't need the XML::LibXML::XPathContext with its prefix => namespace mapping:
$doc->findnodes('//*/info/fooTransaction/transactionDetail/*[name() = +"histFile:transactionSummary"]/*');

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
