I am currently trying to use the XSLT2 module in a Perl script. I am currently getting an error when running the script due to including this module. The main error statement is:

Transformer.java:1: error: package net.sf.saxon.s9api does not exist

I'm assuming this means that when I installed XML::Saxon::XSLT2, it didn't know where the Saxon jar file was. I have it on my computer but I'm not sure how to get Inline::Java or XSLT2 to recognize that it's there or install it or do whatever I have to do. Sorry, I don't really know too much about Java and classpaths and what not so I'm sort of in the black on this issue.

This module implements XSLT 1.0 and 2.0 using Saxon 9.x via Inline::Java.

It expects Saxon to be installed in either: 

'/usr/share/java/saxon9he.jar'

or:

'/usr/local/share/java/saxon9he.jar'

Future versions should be more flexible. The saxon9he.jar file can be found at http://saxon.sourceforge.net/ - just dowload the latest Java release of Saxon-HE 9.x, open the Zip archive, extract saxon9he.jar and save it to one of the two directories above.

http://metacpan.org/pod/XML::Saxon::XSLT2

So just cd to the directory where you currently have the saxon jar file and type:

$ mv saxon9he.jar /usr/local/share/java/

  • So just adding the directory that I have it saved to worked. That's fine for what I'm doing right now, but I want to create a standalone executable. Usually creating executables from perl isn't to bad, but I don't know how I'm going to specify the correct path when it goes into the executable. Is there anyway to specify a path that will let me just keep the jar file in the same path as the module file. – OstrichProjects Jun 28 '13 at 02:18
  • You cross posted this at perlmonks, so thanks for wasting my time. – 7stud Jun 28 '13 at 02:28
