NAME
       Element - an 

AAPPII
       nneeww (( nnaammee,, pprreeffiixx ))

       Create a new Element node with name "name" and prefix "prefix". The
       name be "prefix:local" if prefix is defined. I know that sounds wierd,
       but it works ;-)

       ggeettNNaammee

       Returns the name (including "prefix:" if defined) of this element.

       ggeettLLooccaallNNaammee

       Returns just the local part of the name (the bit after "prefix:").

       ggeettCChhiillddNNooddeess

       Returns the children of this element. In list context returns a list.
       In scalar context returns an array ref.

       ggeettCChhiillddNNooddee (( ppooss ))

       Returns the child at position pos.

       aappppeennddCChhiilldd (( cchhiillddnnooddee ))

       Appends the child node to the list of current child nodes.

       ggeettAAttttrriibbuuttee (( nnaammee ))

       Returns the attribute node with key name.

       ggeettAAttttrriibbuutteess // ggeettAAttttrriibbuutteeNNooddeess

       Returns the attribute nodes. In list context returns a list. In scalar
       context returns an array ref.

       aappppeennddAAttttrriibbuuttee (( aattttrriibbnnooddee))

       Appends the attribute node to the list of attributes (XML::XPath stores
       attributes in order).

       ggeettNNaammeessppaaccee (( pprreeffiixx ))

       Returns the namespace node by the given prefix

       ggeettNNaammeessppaacceess // ggeettNNaammeessppaacceeNNooddeess

       Returns the namespace nodes. In list context returns a list. In scalar
       context returns an array ref.

       aappppeennddNNaammeessppaaccee (( nnssnnooddee ))

       Appends the namespace node to the list of namespaces.

       ggeettPPrreeffiixx

       Returns the prefix of this element

       ggeettEExxppaannddeeddNNaammee

       Returns the expanded name of this element (not yet implemented right).

       ssttrriinnggvvaalluuee

       For elements, the stringvalue is the concatenation of all
       stringvalues of all text-descendants of the element node in document
       order.

       ttooSSttrriinngg (( [[ nnoorreeccuurrssee ]] ))

       Output (and all children) the node to a string. Doesn't process
       children if the norecurse option is a true value.
