Fnoorg!

So, this time _sps_ was NOT exactly correct, and he needs to apologize. I asked him to write a little XML parser for me on the weekend, and he threw something together from the XML::Parser Perl library I had, saw that it produced nothing, and told me that my library or interface to it was broken. I've now download and tested half-a-dozen examples of uses of this exact same library, and they work as advertised.

So, now I'm gonna have to read the docs and find out why the library didn't work as expected, and will have to do the work myself. Harrumph!

But at least I get to feel smug about catching _sps_ in an overt error. I don't get to do that very often.

Did you find docs? I was really pretty sure that the approach I was attempting was what the manpage suggested, but as you saw, the manpage wasn't very clear at all.

As to apologising, well, I'm sorry. I won't try to use something from CPAN again :-}.
