NAME

       XML::PatAct::MatchName - A pattern module for matching element names

SYNOPSIS

        use XML::PatAct::MatchName;

        my $matcher = XML::PatAct::MatchName->new();

        my $patterns = [ 'foo' => ACTION,
                         'bar/foo' => ACTION,
                         ... ];

DESCRIPTION

       XML::PatAct::MatchName is a pattern module for use with PatAct drivers for applying
       pattern-action lists to XML parses or trees.  XML::PatAct::MatchName is a simple pattern
       module that uses just element names to match on.  If multiple names are supplied separated
       by `"/"' characters, then all of the parent element names must match as well.

       The order of patterns in the list is not significant.  XML::PatAct::MatchName will use the
       most specific match.  Using the synopsis above as an example, if you have an element
       `"foo"', `"bar/foo"' will match if `"foo"' is in an element `"bar"', otherwise just the
       pattern with `"foo"' will match.
