SYNOPSIS

        package foo;
        use Meta::Xml::LibXML qw();
        my($object)=Meta::Xml::LibXML->new();
        my($result)=$object->method();

DESCRIPTION

This class extends the XML::LibXML class to do aegis path resolution. Just call the new_aegis method and get a parser which does that for you.

FUNCTIONS

        resolver($$)
        new_aegis($)
        parse_file($$)
        check_file($$)
        TEST($)

FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

resolver($$)

A static method which does the actual resolution.

new_aegis($)

This is a constructor for the Meta::Xml::LibXML object.

parse_file($$)

Overriden method for the parent because we need to store the path of the file currently parsed because we need to get ridd of it. Read the todo item below to understand why. This interface keeps the old XML::LibXML interface so that you won't know anything about it.

TEST($)

This is a testing suite for the Meta::Xml::LibXML module. This test is should be run by a higher level management system at integration or release time or just as a regular routine to check that all is well.

SUPER CLASSES

BUGS

TODO

-talk to the LibXML guys (perl or c level) and ask why the extenal handler doesnt get what's in the document but rather a catenated path. This makes my life rather difficult.

-mail the LibXML guys about why I can inherit the external handler (call the parent implementation or something).

cpanm Meta::Init

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Meta::Init
