-
- This is a Perl extension interface to James Clark's XML parser, expat.
- It requires at least version 5.004 of perl and it requires that you have
- release 1.95.0 or greater of expat installed. You can download expat
- from:
-
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/
-
- The documentation for this extension can be found in pod format at the end
- of the files Parser.pm and Expat/Expat.pm. The perldoc program, provided with
- the perl distribution, can be used to view this documentation.
-
- This was modified from the original XML::Parser created by Larry Wall.
-
- To configure this module, cd to the directory that contains this README file
- and type the following:
-
- perl Makefile.PL
-
- Alternatively, if you plan to install XML::Parser somewhere other than
- your system's perl library directory. You can type something like this:
-
- perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/me/perl INSTALLDIRS=perl
-
- Then to build you run make.
-
- make
-
- You can then test the module by typing:
-
- make test
-
- There are some sample utilities in the samples directory along with an
- xml form of the XML specification to test them on. You may need to change
- the '#!' line at the top of these utilities to what is appropriate for
- your system. If you're going to play around with them prior to installing
- the module, you would need to add the blib paths to your perl search
- path, like this (assuming your current directory is samples):
-
- perl -I../blib/lib -I../blib/arch xmlcomments REC-xml-19980210.xml
-
- or set your PERLLIB environment variable.
-
- If you have write access to the installation directories, you may then
- install by typing:
-
- make install
-
- Discussion on features and bugs of this software and general discussion
- on topics relating to perl and XML takes place on the perl-xml mailing
- list, to which you can subscribe by sending mail to:

- Differences from Version 2.30
- =============================
-
- Version 2.31 is a minor bugfix release to allow XML::Parser to
- work under the forthcoming Perl 5.8.0 release. There are no functional
- changes.
-
- Differences from Version 2.29
- =============================
-
- Expat is no longer included with this package. It must now be already
- installed on your system as a library. You may download the library
- version of expat from http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/. After
- downloading, expat must be configured (an automatic script does this),
- built and installed.
-
- A workaround has been provided for those people who couldn't compile
- Expat.xs with a perl 5.6.0 with USE_5005THREADS on.
-
- A bug that prevented IO::Handler from being read by the parse method
- has been fixed.
-
- Fixed a bug in reading external entities with incremental parsing.
