Bug #127507 for XML-Saxon-XSLT3: unable to use saxon9ee features

Greetings, Distribution name and version: XML-Saxon-XSLT3-0.009 Perl version: This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 2 (v5.26.2) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi Operating System vendor and version: Linux vvv 4.18.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.18.6-1 (2018-09-06) x86_64 GNU/Linux I need to use the PE or EE version of Saxon, so I've modified XSLT3.pm and changed the line proc = new Processor(false); to proc = new Processor(true); (in two places). Also I've changed the line my $classpath = Alien::Saxon->jar; to my $classpath = "/path/to/saxon9ee.jar"; When running the code such as this: use XML::Saxon::XSLT3 "debug" => 2; open(my $xslt, "<", "test.xsl"); my $trans = XML::Saxon::XSLT3->new($xslt); open(my $input, "<", "test.xml"); print $trans->transform($input); I'm getting an error: method transform in class Transformer threw exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/saxonica/ee/bytecode/iter/CompiledFilterIterator Here is a complete output with debug=2: [perl][1] validate done.

[perl][1] exiting with 255 To reproduce this, you need to: 1) download Saxon EE for Java from https://www.saxonica.com/download/java.xml (I've used version 9.8.0.14 for my testing) 2) unzip the distribution and install saxon9ee.jar in some folder 3) Obtain the free Evaluation License on this page: https://www.saxonica.com/download/download.xml 4) copy the license file (saxon-license.lic) to the same folder with saxon9ee.jar Note: without obtaining and installing the license, the error does not appear. 5) modify XSLT3.pm as described above: change the line proc = new Processor(false); to proc = new Processor(true); (in two places), and also change the line my $classpath = Alien::Saxon->jar; to my $classpath = "/path/to/saxon9ee.jar"; 6) run the perl program: use XML::Saxon::XSLT3 "debug" => 2; open(my $xslt, "<", "test.xsl"); my $trans = XML::Saxon::XSLT3->new($xslt); open(my $input, "<", "test.xml"); print $trans->transform($input); Best wishes, Vladimir
