XML::Parser inside a class	Can't Post

Hello,

I am using XML::Parser to make an XML parser. I would like to use it inside a class. I have my class in a module (MyClass.pm) I have created. The problem is it does not work when I try to use it inside my class. I think the problem is related to the way class methods are defined in Perl. As the first method line must be something like:

my $self = shift;

It seems XML::Parser has problems with it.

I have found that the PHP XML parser uses the method:

xml_set_object($this->parser, $this);

in order to notify the parser that handlers are implemented in this class.

Is there any way to use XML::Parser in OOP?

Thanks in advanced.

The answer is Yes. After all, XML::Parser is itself an OO module and it can be used in other OO modules.

Show use your code and a more compete explanation of the problem and include any/all errors and warnings that your code produces.

Please, find attached an abridged version of my class.

The class has a contructor and three methods:

index_corpus
build_command
parseData

In this version, the three handlers aren't defined as class methods, as it neither worked. Are defined as 'standard' methods, but inside the .pm file.

The error I get when I call 'build_command' method, which calls the parser, is:

read error at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser/Expat.pm line 469.

When I tried the handlers as a class methods, I added:

my $self = shift;

in the first line of the handlers, but I don't know if this causes a conflict with the parser, as the handler does not seem to expect that.
