Writing an XML file using XPath?

What is the best way to write an XML file using XML::XPath.pm? It seems as though it's unsupported and I'm not getting any love by examining at its submodules, either.

Thanks,

Dave

I thought that module was just for xpath queries (IE just reading). I haven't come across anything that allows you to write back using xpath - but I could be wrong.

I guess you could use xslt with xpath to write. Do you need to use xpath?... Have you looked at XML: Smiley Frustrated

imple? You can use perl hashes to write XML - nice and easy with a few greps/maps.

From what I understand about XPath, I think you're right. We're trying to standardize on XPath and I was / am interested to know if there's a supported way to write XML but it appears that it may not be possible. I have an interim solution, though, where I'm making whatever changes I need via XPath, munging the root-level node as a string and then writing it out. It's working well but is not as clean as I would prefer.

Try XML::Twig or XML: Smiley Frustrated
