[Catalyst] XPath, DOM problem

[Mesdaq, Ali]

I agree. Using XML::LibXML and the built in xpath queries would be a much better option. Also you probably definitely want to just pass a data structure to your template that is better suited for processing i.e. plain array or array of hash of name value pairs. Another option if your xml is structured a certain way you can just use xslt to transform the xml into the html or whatever you need and bypass processing it to process it again for display.

BTW, XML::LibXML is a much nicer library for doing anything related to
XML in Perl.  Using anything else is slightly crazy ;)
