Thanks David,

That's unnecessary, using $device (.....) as the context is fine.

'Context' is the magic word that made the penny drop. This:

$subdevice = $device->find('/subdevice', $device);

Does just what I need.

I was only looking at stuff in the debugger to try to understand the difference between nodesets and node lists. It wasn't helpful as both are far too large to read.
All I could really gleen was whether my code was giving vaguely sensible results.

Thanks a mill

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.
