XML::Toolset::MSXML - Interface to MSXML toolset

SYNOPSIS

  ... Do stuff with $doc ...
} else {

DESCRIPTION

XML::Toolset::MSXML is an interface to Microsoft's MSXML parser (often available in Windows environments) which can be used with the XML::Toolset module.

METHODS

new(%options)

Returns a new XML::Toolset::MSXML instance using the specified options. (See OPTIONS below.)

validate_document($xml)

Returns true if $xml could be successfully parsed, undef otherwise.

last_error()

Returns the error from the last validate_document call. This is a hash ref with the following fields:

create_doc_and_cache()

Internal method for instantiation of MSXML DOMDocument and SchemaCache objects for use within the module.

  • message

  • line

  • column

Note that the error gets cleared at the beginning of each validate_document call.

version()

Returns the version of the MSXML component that is installed

OPTIONS

XML::Toolset::MSXML takes the following options:

validation

If this boolean value is true, the document will be validated during parsing. Otherwise it will only be checked for well-formedness. Defaults to true.

ERROR REPORTING

When a call to validate_document fails to parse the document, the error may be retrieved using last_error.

On errors not related to the XML parsing, these methods will throw exceptions. Wrap calls with eval to catch them.

PACKAGE GLOBALS

$XML::Toolset::MSXML::MSXML_VERSION contains the version number of MSXML.
