Using XPath Module from inside a TPL

Is it possible to use XML::XPath module from inside a tag? Please let me know what is wrong with the following coding:

#!/usr/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl
use XML::XPath;

my $file = 'test.xml';

my $sourceXML = XML::XPath->new(filename => $file);

foreach my $node ($sourceXML->find('//substitution')->get_nodelist){
$name = $node->find('./@name')->string_value;

}

Thanks

Have you tried this code in a template? What is the problem manifestation?

There is nothing syntactically wrong with the code. If I were you I would modify $node->find('./@name')
to $node->find('@name'). It is the same thing only easier to read. Note though that it is just styling.
