I've run into a bug in XML::XSLT. If you give it an .xsl file by an
absolute name, it fails with the message:

Error while parsing: no element found at line 1, column 0, byte -1 at

If you use relative path, no problems.

The line that's casuing the error is this:

my $xslt = XML::XSLT->new( $xslfile, warnings => 1, debug => 1);

There are no spaces anything else "weird" in the absolute path.
But this is on Windows, so it begins with "D:\users".

This looks like a minor omission somewhere in the module.
How can this be corrected?

Thanks,

Can't you use forward slashes?

D:/users/thefile.xml


No, no luck there either. Same error.
