The best way to handle xml files is with a module. If you look on CPAN you find some like XML::Simple or XML::Twig Also you should change your data type to store your keys. Use a hash instead of an array. Why? Because a hash already makes sure that there no key can be repeated. And searching for a key is a lot faster than with an array. If you don't know how to use a hash, read the docs. It is nearly as simple as an array, but sooo much better for most problems UPDATE: This is not a code writing service. The script you had was not bad as a first draft. Adapt it a bit, debug it and it should work. Here is a hint:
This is already the meat of your hash handling.
