Perl

Hi All,

While trying to get a script to diff two xml files, I stumbled upon
XML::SemanticDiff and the example alongwith it .
But while running the script I am getting the following error :

Couldn't open encmap windows-1252.enc:
No such file or directory
at /lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm
line 185

Can anyone suggest, why I am getting this ?The path to the above
Parser.pm exists .

Or IF there is any better solution to diff two xml files (obviously
using perl)from the command line ?

Thanx
Debhatta

Yes, but not the file"windows-1252.enc".

Hmm... I have it here, under the name "cp1252.enc". I'm not sure I
didn't create it myself.

There are at least two ways you can create such a file. The data source,
in any way, is the text files under
<http://unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/>, for this particular file (which
describes the standard Windows character set) is
<http://unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP1252.TXT>.

The official way to create it, as you can see here:


<http://search.cpan.org/src/MSERGEANT/XML-Parser-2.34/Parser/Encodings/README>

is to use a script that comes with the module XML::Encoding on CPAN,

<http://search.cpan.org/author/COOPERCL/XML-Encoding-1.01/>


The second way is slightly more manual, it is by using a script I wrote
years ago and which you can find here:

Wow. History repeats itself.
