Xslt not working

Hi All,

I am facing one problem on xslt.
I have a perl file where i am giving path of one xml file and xsl file to translate it.
When all 3 files xml, xsl and perl file are in same folder then it is working fine.

But when i am putting xml file somewhere else location and giving its path on perl program then it is giving me error...
[html]no element found at line 1, column 0, byte -1 at C:/Perl/site/lib/XML/Parser.pm line 185

c:/test3.xml at C:/Perl/lib/XML/XSLT.pm line 1507.
[/html]

I hv putted perl supporting path. What cud be the reason of its not working.
Pls suggest me what cud be the issue?

Hi Ambuj,

here is the perl code that works....
[html]
# !/usr/bin/perl

# import required modules
use XML::XSLT;
use XML::XPath;
use Tie::File;
use strict;

my $XMLtoRead = 'test3.xml';
my $OutPutFile = 'c:\temp.xml';

# define local variables
my $xslfile = "test2.xsl";

# create an instance of XSL::XSLT processor

my $xslt = XML::XSLT->new ($xslfile);

open(PROPFILE, "> $OutPutFile") || die("Cannot open OutPut file: $OutPutFile, Error $!\n");
# transform XML file and print output
print PROPFILE $xslt->serve($XMLtoRead);

close(PROPFILE);

# free up some memory
$xslt->dispose();

[/html]

Are you sure it would be


my $XMLtoRead = 'c:/test3.xml';
my $OutPutFile = 'c:/temp.xml';

and not


my $XMLtoRead = 'c:\test3.xml';
my $OutPutFile = 'c:\temp.xml';

Hi Ambuj,

I have tried both.
But both are not working.

Its working in perl file directory or sub directory.

Did you try giving file name in double quotes? Sometimes I have seen problems because of single quote n double quote so you can try this combination also.

Nidhi_Agrawal

Yes , I have tried double quotes and single quotes. But no success.

Could you check the permissions of the directory where in you are placing xml file and xslt file ... because directory shd be able to have read and write permissions.
