Hi all,

I am trying to create simple perl files to parse my xml documents and am =
using XML::Parser. However, in the scripts i have written, i keep =
getting the same error so i am wondering if i am doing something =
fundamentally wrong. My scripts are just to parse an xml file and give =
the info as html. i am doing a web-based project to describe information =
about images and basically want the perl script to parse the xml =
document and show the relevent information in a web environment. =
However, even my test scripts aren't working. the error i get is:

Global symbol "$p1" requires explicit package name at ./xmltest.pl line =
6.
Execution of ./xmltest.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

I have looked at perldoc XML::Parser to try and get more information but =
to no avail. Is there fundamentally something I am missing and do i have =
to specify the actual file to parse or will the parser recognise the =
files with an .xml extension. Hope you can help,

thanks a lot,

Sabrina.
