Re: [xml] XML::LibXML not returning DTD validation errors

[Petr Pajas <pajas ufal ms mff cuni cz>]

Matt,

First, your version of XML::LibXML binding is obsolete. So, if you
come to problems, try using latest XML::LibXML from CPAN (now 1.50).

Second, is_valid only returns 0/1 status. However, there is validate()
which croaks the error message on invalid document. So, you simply use
eval { $doc->validate() }; and read the error message from $  

Third, there is XML::LibXML oriented mailing list at
perl-xml listserv ActiveState com

Regards,
