NAME
XML::PatAct::MatchName - A pattern module for matching element names
SYNOPSIS
use XML::PatAct::MatchName;
my $matcher = XML::PatAct::MatchName->new();
my $patterns = [ 'foo' => ACTION,
'bar/foo' => ACTION,
... ];
DESCRIPTION
XML::PatAct::MatchName is a pattern module for use with PatAct drivers
for applying pattern-action lists to XML parses or trees.
XML::PatAct::MatchName is a simple pattern module that uses just
element names to match on. If multiple names are supplied separated by
`"/"' characters, then all of the parent element names must match as
well.
The order of patterns in the list is not significant.
XML::PatAct::MatchName will use the most specific match. Using the
synopsis above as an example, if you have an element `"foo"',
`"bar/foo"' will match if `"foo"' is in an element `"bar"', otherwise
just the pattern with `"foo"' will match.
