XML::LibXML::Dtd - A Class implementing Dtd Nodes use XML::LibXML::Dtd; $dtd = XML::LibXML::Dtd->new($public_id, $system_id) $dtd = XML::LibXML::Dtd->parse_string($dtd_str) This class holds a DTD. You may parse a DTD from either a string, or from an external SYSTEM identifier. No support is available as yet for parsing from a filehandle. XML::LibXML::Dtd is a sub-class of Node, so all the methods available to nodes (particularly toString()) are available to Dtd objects.

Methods
Parse a DTD from the system identifier, and return a DTD object that you can pass to $doc->is_valid() or $doc->validate(). my $dtd = XML::LibXML::Dtd->new( "SOME // Public / ID / 1.0", "test.dtd" ); my $doc = XML::LibXML->new->parse_file("test.xml"); $doc->validate($dtd); The same as new() above, except you can parse a DTD from a string.
