output XML from Mac::PropertyList

[jez]

Hi everyone,

I am using this module to access Apple's Plist data which is a standard way for apple software to store prefs and user data.

It is all good, but makes no mention of how to output the XML again once you have done something with it.

Maybe i am being a little dim, but i don't see how i can make a file with a whole lot of stuff at the top which will be default such as the XML declaration and root elements, then dropping in the result of the Mac:ropertyList stuff.

Any suggestions of thoughts would be gratefully recieved.

you need to either look for or write an export function, and we'll all go "Some fella innee", lot of mutual back clapping ... 'n' all that

Thanks for the response, i think you are right.

I have now started to use XML::Writer to output the xml.
It is possible to create raw XML with MAC:ropertyList and then dump it in with the rest of my output, however i have found that the Mac:ropertyList is more useful just for parsing the Mac:ropertyList file, rather than to write it again.


Thanks again.
