Neat...  Any XML gurus lurking in the Omaha Perl Mongers?

Hi,

I found an interesting utility on CPAN to validate XML files:
XML-Validate.

It will validate with XML::LibXML (which is built on Gnome's libxml2,
see http://xmlsoft.org/), with XML::Xerces (which I described how to
install in a previous post, and see http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/),
or with MSXML (if on Windows), whichever is installed.

Assuming that you have installed XML::Xerces as per the earlier post
and the OTA specification files as per another post, you can get
validation going with the following commands.

INSTALL XML::Validate

   su -
   perl -MCPAN -e "install XML::Validate"
   exit

VALIDATE THE SAMPLES

   cd $HOME
   mkdir tmp
   cd tmp
   cp $PREFIX/share/ota/2005B/schema/*.xsd .
   cp $PREFIX/share/ota/2005B/samples/*.xml .
   validxml.pl OTA_VehResRQ.xml
   for file in *.xml
   do
      validxml.pl $file
   done
