XML::LibXML::NodeList - a list of XML document nodes An XML::LibXML::NodeList object contains an ordered list of nodes, as detailed by the W3C DOM documentation of Node Lists. my $results = $dom->findnodes('//somepath'); foreach my $context ($results->get_nodelist) { my $newresults = $context->findnodes('./other/element'); ... }

new()
You will almost never have to create a new NodeSet object, as it is all done for you by XPath.

get_nodelist()
Returns a list of nodes, the contents of the node list, as a perl list.

string_value()
Returns the string-value of the first node in the list. See the XPath specification for what "string-value" means.

to_literal()
Returns the concatenation of all the string-values of all the nodes in the list.

get_node($pos)
Returns the node at $pos. The node position in XPath is based at 1, not 0.

size()
Returns the number of nodes in the NodeSet.

pop()
Equivalent to perl's pop function.

push(@nodes)
Equivalent to perl's push function.

append($nodelist)
Given a nodelist, appends the list of nodes in $nodelist to the end of the current list.

shift()
Equivalent to perl's shift function.

unshift(@nodes)
Equivalent to perl's unshift function.

Given a nodelist, prepends the list of nodes in $nodelist to the front of the current list.
