NAME
       XML::LibXML::Literal - Simple string values.

DESCRIPTION
       In XPath terms a Literal is what we know as a string.

AAPPII
       nneeww(($$ssttrriinngg))

       Create a new Literal object with the value in $string. Note that "
       and ' will be converted to " and ' respectively. That is not part
       of the XPath specification, but I consider it useful. Note though that
       you have to go to extraordinary lengths in an XML template file (be it
       XSLT or whatever) to make use of this:

               

       Which produces a Literal of:

               I'm feeling "sad"

       value()

       Also overloaded as stringification, simply returns the literal string
       value.

       ccmmpp(($$lliitteerraall))

       Returns the equivalent of perl's cmp operator against the given
       $literal.
