axk: awk for XML files

INSTALLATION

To install this module, run the following commands:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

USAGE

After installation, run axk. Options are similar to awk. Input scripts are Perl 5.18 with functions to, e.g., run on any node matching a given XPath. See L1.md for more details. For example, the script

-L1
on { xpath(q<//item>) } run { say "$NOW: " . $E->getTagName };

or the equivalent command line

axk -e 'on { xpath(q<//item>) } run { say "$NOW: " . $E->getTagName }' t/ex/ex1.xml

will print the tag name of each //item node in the input, along with an indication ($NOW) of whether the action is being run when entering or leaving the node.
