The state of the state of the Perl stuff

[Dean Roddey <dr...@charmedquark.com>]

Ok, I now finally get to ask a question... We are probably going to use Xerces stuff at work, and some of the folks involved need to use Perl interfaces. What is the state of the state with the Perl stuff now in the repository vs. what's in the current 1.4 release.

Hey Dean,

I'm copying this to xerces-p-dev.

Xerces-1.3.3 is the current stable release built on Xerces-C 1.3. It
supports the entire DOM interface. It is known to work on the
following platforms:

* Linux (gcc 2.95.2, 2.95.3, Perl 5.6.0)
* NetBSD (egcs-2.91.66)
* Solaris 8 (Sun Enterprise 250, gcc 2.95.2, Perl 5.6.0.)

A noticeable omission is Windows. I work on a PPC linux platform, and
my PC is used by my kids to play games, so I don't have access to a
C++ compiler (If IBM or Apache would be willing to provide me one, I
would happily install it and test Windows myself ;-)

I was just beginning to add the new pieces from 1.4 yesterday, when I
learned that it didn't support SAX at all. So yesterday I wrapped
SAXParser, and will wrap the supporting classes today. This means that
by Monday there will be a 1.3.4 release that supports SAX. I'll add in
the SAXCount.pl and SAXPrint.pl examples to test the code, but since I
don't use SAX at all in my own code, I won't be able to test it more
than that. 

HTH,
jas.

PS. Did you not find the info you were looking for on the WWW page? If
so I can update it.
