How to get rid of "is_defaulted method no longer works"?

[makarandmk]

Hi, While using XML-DOM-Parser's parsefile method, I am getting following errors on my scrren.. how do i get rid of it?

see my code below:

use XML:OM;
my $dom = new XML:OM:arser;
my $doc = $dom->parsefile("some file name"

Errors I get:

The is_defaulted method no longer works. Please use the specified_attr method instead. The is_defaulted method will be removed altogether in a future version.

Problem would seem to be in XML:OM:arser, I would report the error to the Author(s).

Before do though, would be a good idea to make sure you have the latest versions of Perl and the modules. Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your comments. BTW, I am using perl5.6 version. Is this a latest one? If I use perl5.005, then also I am getting the same errors. Please advise.

5.8 is the latest, though I would concentrate on the modules you're using rather than the version of Perl. Mike

Hi,

Can I use any other module other than "XML:OM:arser" to parse XML file through CGI perl script?

My requirement is to parse XML file, extract data and show it in HTML format to the user.

Please advise.

thanks,
