Overview
"XML::Grove::Sub" executes a sub, the filter, over all objects in a grove and returns a list of all the return values from the sub. The sub is called with the grove object as it's first parameter and passing the rest of the arguments to the call to `"filter()"' or `"accept()"'.
Examples
The following filter will return a list of all `"foo"' or `"bar"' elements with an attribute `"widget-no"' beginning with `"A"' or `"B"'.
@results = $grove_obj->filter(sub {my $obj = shift;if ($obj->isa('XML::Grove::Element')&& (($obj->{Name} eq 'foo')|| ($obj->{Name} eq 'bar'))&& ($obj->{Attributes}{'widget-no'} =~ /^[AB]/)) {return ($obj);}return ();});
