Subject:

autosplit error on calling methods not in XML::LibXML

I made a typo when trying out XML::LibXML like this: use XML::LibXML; my $parser = XML::LibXML->new(); my $doc = $parser->parsefile($infile); ('parsefile' should have been 'parse_file' ). I got this error from that piece of code: Can't locate auto/XML/LibXML/parsefile.al in @INC (@INC contains: .... In retrospect I'd expected a "Can't locate object method 'parsefile' via XML::LibXML" type of error, since the error I got got me searching for all kinds of things that were wrong with my installation, instead of noticing my typo. I saw this behaviour at least on 2 different OSes: 1) XML::LibXML version 1.62 / perl5.8.7 / FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE 2) XML::LibXML version 1.58 / perl5.8.7 / Linux 2.6.15-27-amd64-generic Emile

Sorry for the problems, Emile, but I fear this error is because XML::LibXML relies heavily on an perl-XS implementation (which cannot get changed at all). As far as I remember, XML::LibXML doesn't use any autoloader functions than the XS loader. Christian emileaben@gmail.com via RT wrote: Show quoted text

It seems that adding undef &AUTOLOAD; just after bootstrap XML::LibXML $VERSION in LibXML.pm does the job (still in the BEGIN section). I'll commit it to the SVN as soon as the SVN is up and running again:-) Unless someone finds problems with this solution, it'll appear in 1.63. -- Petr
