## NAME
    [XML::XPath::PerlSAX](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3AXPath%3A%3APerlSAX/markdown) - A PerlSAX event generator for my weird node structure

## SYNOPSIS
            use [XML::XPath](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3AXPath/markdown);
            use [XML::XPath::PerlSAX](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3AXPath%3A%3APerlSAX/markdown);
            use [XML::DOM::PerlSAX](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3ADOM%3A%3APerlSAX/markdown);

            my $xp = [XML::XPath](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3AXPath/markdown)->new(filename => 'test.xhtml');
            my $paras = $xp->find('/html/body/p');

            my $handler = [XML::DOM::PerlSAX](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3ADOM%3A%3APerlSAX/markdown)->new();
            my $generator = [XML::XPath::PerlSAX](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3AXPath%3A%3APerlSAX/markdown)->new( Handler => $handler );

            foreach my $node ($paras->get_nodelist) {
                    my $domtree = $generator->parse($node);
                    # do something with $domtree
            }

## DESCRIPTION
    This module generates PerlSAX events to pass to a PerlSAX handler such as [XML::DOM::PerlSAX](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3ADOM%3A%3APerlSAX/markdown). It
    operates specifically on my weird tree format.

    Unfortunately SAX doesn't seem to cope with namespaces, so these are lost completely. I believe
    SAX2 is doing namespaces.

## Other
    The [XML::DOM::PerlSAX](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3ADOM%3A%3APerlSAX/markdown) handler I tried was completely broken (didn't even compile before I
    patched it a bit), so I don't know how correct this is or how far it will work.
