  XML::SAX::Intro contains the following example:

  use XML::SAX;
  use MySAXHandler;
  
  my $parser = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->new(
      Handler => MySAXHandler->new
  );
  
  $parser->parse_uri("foo.xml");

  I've got almost exactly that, with MySAXHandler defined as a subclass of XML::SAX::Base with no overridden methods, and I get:

  Can't locate object method "parse_uri" via package "XML::SAX::ParserFactory"

  I'm sure I'll figure this out somehow...

    And here it is! Typo in the docs; instead of calling the new method of the XML::SAX::ParserFactory class, you're supposed to call the parser method, according to the XML::SAX::ParserFactory POD.

    Glad to see you found the answer to your problem :) Please also note that you don't need to (and in fact probably shouldn't) inherit from XSB for Handlers. It's only for Drivers and Filters. What happened is that we optimised for the most common case, which is the Handler. So all you need there is the methods that you wish to use, *nothing* else.
