XML::SimpleObject 0.53
OS Windows XP
The "children" method will always return at least a single element even
if the given name does not exist in the XML.
$xml = "<name></name>";
$xmlobj = XML::SimpleObject -> new (XML => $xml);
foreach $subelement ($xmlobj -> children ("some-nonexistant-element"))
{
# should never reach here, but it does!
}
