28 This is a perl interface to libxml2's pre-compiled XPath expressions.
29 Pre-compiling an XPath expression can give in some performance benefit
30 if the same XPath query is evaluated many times.
31 "XML::LibXML::XPathExpression" objects can be passed to all "find..."
32 functions "XML::LibXML" that expect an XPath expression.
33
34 new()
35 $compiled = XML::LibXML::XPathExpression->new( xpath_string );
36
37 The constructor takes an XPath 1.0 expression as a string and
38 returns an object representing the pre-compiled expressions (the
39 actual data structure is internal to libxml2).
