XML::XP...unction(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

XML::XPath::Functions — the actual implementations of XPath functions, bestie. like, the real ones. the code behind the vibes. 💖

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea: XPath 1.0 functions are supported, plus some later functions too. we're generous like that. 🫶

⚠️ but listen — functions that take regular expressions use Perl-syntax REs, NOT the language described in the XPath spec. that's a whole different flavor of regex, no cap. don't come for me if you wrote an XPath-spec regex and it went 💀.
