Subject: Incorrect looking documentation
The page http://search.cpan.org/~bholzman/XML-Generator-0.98/Generator.pm says what is quoted below. The XML in the first example does not have the contents element in the wru namespace as is implied by the narative. Namespaces do not inherit like that. Is the example wrong? David <<END_OF_QUOTE $xml = $gen->widget(['wru' => 'http://www.widgets-r-us.com/xml/'], {'id' => 123}, $gen->contents()); <wru:widget xmlns:wru="http://www.widgets-r-us.com/xml/" wru:id="123"> <contents /> </wru:widget> Note that the wru: prefix is inherited, so the contents tag above is semantically equivalent to <wru:contents /> If you actually mean <contents xmlns="" /> then you have to say: $gen->contents([undef]); END_OF_QUOTE

RT-Send-Cc:
Oops. Thanks for the bug report! I will fix the example to use a default namespace, which does inherit like that. These XML namespaces are just too confusing! Since you seem to be something of an expert in the matter, do you have any other comments on XML::Generator's namespace support? I'm suspecting there are some significant flaws, and I would like to get things shipshape for a 1.0 release. Thanks, Benjamin Holzman Show quoted text
