## NAME
    [XML::Grove::XPointer](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3AGrove%3A%3AXPointer/markdown) - deprecated module once intended for XPointer

## SYNOPSIS
     THIS MODULE IS USED BY [XML::Grove::Path](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3AGrove%3A%3APath/markdown), it does not implement any
     current version of XPointer

## DESCRIPTION
    This module implements a very tiny portion of an old draft of XPointer. [XML::Grove::Path](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3AGrove%3A%3APath/markdown) still
    uses this module, but both modules will be obsolete when a real XPath and XPointer module become
    available.
