| Subject: | namespaces break "starttag" |
Can't locate object method "toString" via package
"XML::LibXML::Namespace" at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Template/Plugin/XML/LibXML.pm line 229.
From LibXML.pm:
sub starttag {
my ($self) = @_;
my $output = "<". $self->nodeName();
foreach my $attr ($self->attributes)
{
$output .= $attr->toString();
}
$output .= ">";
return $output;
}
<article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> will fail because
the 'attributes' method evaluates namespaces and attributes differently.
Namespaces become XML::LibXML::Namespace objects which do not have the
"toString" method.

"Because XML::LibXML does not implement namespace declarations and
attributes the same way, it is required to test what kind of node is
handled while accessing the functions result."
