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::Pat-
       Act::MatchName is a simple pattern module that uses just element names
       to match on.  If multiple names are supplied seperated by `"/"' charac-
       ters, then all of the parent element names must match as well.

       The order of patterns in the list is not significant.  XML::Pat-
       Act::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.
