✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

        use XML::XPath;
        use XML::XPath::PerlSAX;
        use XML::DOM::PerlSAX;

        my $xp = XML::XPath->new(filename => 'test.xhtml');
        my $paras = $xp->find('/html/body/p');

        my $handler = XML::DOM::PerlSAX->new();
        my $generator = XML::XPath::PerlSAX->new( Handler => $handler );

        foreach my $node ($paras->get_nodelist) {
                my $domtree = $generator->parse($node);
                # do something with $domtree
        }

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so bestie, here's the tea ☕ — this module generates PerlSAX events and hands them off to a PerlSAX handler, like XML::DOM::PerlSAX for example. The way that it does this is specifically on my weird tree format. It's giving very niche, very specific, and honestly? iconic. 👑

😭 unfortunately SAX doesn't seem to cope with namespaces, so these are lost completely. I believe SAX2 is doing namespaces. fr fr, no cap.

🦋 Other 🦋

The XML::DOM::PerlSAX handler I tried was completely broken — it didn't even compile before I patched it a bit 💀. So yeah, I genuinely don't know how correct this is or how far it will work. lowkey a vibe check that failed, but we move. 🙈
