XML::LibXML, namespaces and findvalue

Question

I\'m using XML::LibXML to parse an XML document with a namespace. I therefore use XML::LibXML::XPathContext to findnodes using the XPath //u:model

Answer 1

You can't use $node->findvalue() because of the whole default namespace thing. However, you can reuse your XML::LibXML::XPathContext object to find the values you want:

for my $node ( $context->findnodes('//u:model') ) {
   my $mh   = $context->findvalue('u:mh', $node);
   my $attr = $context->findvalue('u:attribute', $node);
   print "mh = $mh, attr = $attr\n";
}
