Introduction

What is libxml-xpathengine-perl
libxml-xpathengine-perl is:
XML::XPathEngine provides an XPath engine, that can be re-used by other
module/classes that implement trees.
In order to use the XPath engine, nodes in the user module need to mimic
DOM nodes. The degree of similarity between the user tree and a DOM dictates
how much of the XPath features can be used. A module implementing all of the
DOM should be able to use this module very easily (you might need to add
the cmp method on nodes in order to get ordered result sets).
This module is derived from Matt Sergeant’s XML::XPath.
