XML::XPathEngine::LiteUser3Contributed Perl DocumeXML::XPathEngine::Literal(3)NAMEXML::XPathEngine::Literal - Simple string values.
DESCRIPTION
In XPath terms a Literal is what we know as a string.
API
new($string)
Create a new Literal object with the value in $string. Note that "
and ' will be converted to " and ' respectively. That is not part
of the XPath specification, but I consider it useful. Note though that
you have to go to extraordinary lengths in an XML template file (be it
XSLT or whatever) to make use of this:
<xsl:value-of select=""I'm feeling "sad"""/>
Which produces a Literal of:
I'm feeling "sad"
value()
Also overloaded as stringification, simply returns the literal string
value.
cmp($literal)
Returns the equivalent of perl's cmp operator against the given $lit‐
eral.
