XML::Parser::Style::Subs(3pm)

XML::Parser::Style::Subs3pm

Glue for handling element callbacks

Usage

  use XML::Parser;
  my $p = XML::Parser->new(Style => 'Subs', Pkg => 'MySubs');
  $p->parsefile('foo.xml');
  
  {
    package MySubs;
    
    sub foo {
      # start of foo tag
    }
    
    sub foo_ {
      # end of foo tag
    }
  }

Overview

Each time an element starts, a sub by that name in the package specified by the Pkg option is called with the same parameters that the Start handler gets called with.

Each time an element ends, a sub with that name appended with an underscore ("_"), is called with the same parameters that the End handler gets called with.

Nothing special is returned by parse.
