perl::sax error handler

[badperson]

Hi,
I was getting my feet wet with a sax parser the other day, and I was good up until I tried to create an error handler.

I had the subs for the error stuff in the same .pm file as the regular handler (start_element, end_element, characters, etc)

the code runs, but it just ignores my error code.
I googled and couldn't find any examples of an error handler.

I create the parser like so:


my $factory = new XML::SAX::ParserFactory( Required_features => {
'http://xml.org/sax/features/validation' => 1,
'http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces' => 1 }
);



my $handler = new JWHandler;
my $errorHandler = new JWHandler;
my $parser = $factory->parser( Handler=>$handler, ErrorHandler => $errorHandler );


and an example of the fatal_error sub (I didn't see any examples of this, so I wasn't sure how to deal with the exception)


sub fatal_error{
my $test = shift;
print Dumper($test);
print "FATAL ERROR: at path\n", getElementPath(), "\nfollowing text: $previousText\n";

}

any ideas?
thanks!
