Changes for version 0.70 - 2013-04-16
- Bug fix for the issue where $tpp->parse($x) dies when $x is not defined, whereas the code was instead expecting undef to be returned in this case. This bug caused calls to filterXMLDoc() or getValues() to fail when the XMLPath referenced a non-existing XML leaf.
- Bug fix to an issue in the charlexslit method of recognizing strings with an escape character. Previously no escape character was used, and strings escaping a character that was also the stop or start token would fail to be recognized properly. Example as in 'The Cat\'s Meow' would attempt to extract the string q{The Cat\} and would fail because the it does cannot handle the remaining dangling string q{s Meow}.
- No longer has dependency on Data::Dump, and all use has been changed to the Data::Dumper module. This change includes use of the method in the examples of the documentation.
- New function assembleXMLPath() for assembling an XMLPath from a provided representative array or hash ref structure.
- The deprecated methods validateAttrValue and getSubtree are now only wrappers around the filterXMLDoc method. If they are called, a carp message is given stating their deprecation. Also, their related documentation has been removed. This allows for backwards compatibility without encouraging new use.
Modules
Similar to XPath, defines a path as an accessor to nodes of an XML::TreePP parsed XML Document.
