## NAME
    [XML::PatAct::MatchName] - A pattern module for matching element names

## SYNOPSIS
     use [XML::PatAct::MatchName];

     my $matcher = [XML::PatAct::MatchName]->new();

     my $patterns = [ 'foo' => ACTION,
                      'bar/foo' => ACTION,
                      ... ];

## DESCRIPTION
    [XML::PatAct::MatchName] is a pattern module for use with PatAct drivers
    for applying pattern-action lists to XML parses or trees.
    [XML::PatAct::MatchName] is a simple pattern module that uses just element
    names to match on. If multiple names are supplied separated by `"/"'
    characters, then all of the parent element names must match as well.

    The order of patterns in the list is not significant.
    [XML::PatAct::MatchName] will use the most specific match. Using the
    synopsis above as an example, if you have an element `"foo"',
    `"bar/foo"' will match if `"foo"' is in an element `"bar"', otherwise
    just the pattern with `"foo"' will match.
