Re: Error when attempting to use cloneNode - Can't locate object method "cloneNode" via package "XML::DOM::NodeList"

& XSLT Bjoern,

This is my first time using Perl to work with XML in this way, so my
reasoning for using XML::DOM is simply based upon some examples I have
found. Do you think it would be better to use XML::LibXML when making a copy
of data in one file to paste into another?

My thought was that cloning the node would be easiest way to simple grab all
the content between <Article> </Article> so that this data could be pasted
into another XML file.  Basically, I have a lot of 'stand alone' files that
contain content, and I need to consolidate that content into one main XML
file.

Ex:
a = clone of <Article> nodes between</Article>
then
paste in between <Articles> </Articles> in another file.

Thanks very much for your response.
