If you want information about the DOM architecture, without referring to a particular implementation or language, you can find it at http://www.w3.org/DOM/ Unfortunately, Perl is not one of the languages for which the DOM spec provides a standardized binding. But the principles should be the same. For questions about a specific implementation, your best bet is to contact that implementation's authors. To add contents to an existing node, create the additional nodes as needed and use the appendChild() and/or insertBefore() operations to put them in the desired places in the DOM tree. To find the last instance of a nodename... The simplest approach is to use getElementsByTagName and get the last element of the resulting NodeList. But that will involve walking the entire document, so I would instead recommend that you develop a more intelligent search scheme which takes advantage of knowledge about the structure of your documents. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
