.SH NAME
XML::PatAct::MatchName \- A pattern module for matching element names
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& use XML::PatAct::MatchName;
\&
\& my $matcher = XML::PatAct::MatchName\->new();
\&
\& my $patterns = [ \*(Aqfoo\*(Aq => ACTION,

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "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 seperated
by `\f(CW\*(C`/\*(C'\fR' characters, then all of the parent element names must match
as well.
.PP
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 `\f(CW\*(C`foo\*(C'\fR',
`\f(CW\*(C`bar/foo\*(C'\fR' will match if `\f(CW\*(C`foo\*(C'\fR' is in an element `\f(CW\*(C`bar\*(C'\fR',
otherwise just the pattern with `\f(CW\*(C`foo\*(C'\fR' will match.
