These are referenced in some XML I'm parsing - the XML looks like this: <element datasource="date" /> At present, I can't work out how to get 20th January out of these except with a horrible <xsl:choose> st...
I have tried many of the Perl XML Parsers. I was quite interested in the Sablotron Parser, but it is such a pain to install on a Windows box. Currently I have started using XML::LibXML and XML::LibXSLT both of which seem to do everything I need. They seem to be quite standard as well. Are there any better XML Parsers to use than th...

In another thread I got convinced into using HTML parsers instead of regexps for HTML parsing. I thought of using libxml (it has some HTML parser built in), but failed to find any useful tutorial. I also found this site and it says here it should do fine even with severely broken HTML. Could you give me some examples of HTML parsing wit...
