  • It should be compatible with perl 5.004_05

    Sorry, but it's not because you're using exists on arrays, which wasn't supported until Perl 5.6.

    $ /usr/local/perl/5.4.5/bin/perl -wc lib/XML/Tiny.pm
    exists operator argument is not a HASH element at lib/XML/Tiny.pm line 94.

    $ /usr/local/perl/5.5.3/bin/perl -wc lib/XML/Tiny.pm
    exists operator argument is not a HASH element at lib/XML/Tiny.pm line 94.

    • Yeah, someone else spotted that too - fixed in 1.01, which will hit the CPAN shortly.

      • The synopsis shows:

            my $document = parsefile($xmlfile);

        But it doesn't tell me what $document looks like. Am I going to call methods on it to get what's in it? Is it a bunch of hashes of arrays of hashes? How do I use it?

        I'm sure that's answered later in the docs, but to me the synopsis ought to demonstrate enough of the API to give me the flavor of it so I can decide if I want to spend the time reading the docs to learn the module.
