Okay, I'm stuck again. I can print the now_playing content just fine, but that's not really my intention. I would like to use the data further down the line, but can't seem to get it out of the XML-Rules parser section.

I tried to populate a string called $nowplaying with it but outside of the parser section, the string prints just empty. Obviously, the print is again just temporary so I can see that it works before I continue.

How do I get the string contents outside of the parser section? Here's what I have:

my $nowplaying = "";

my $parser = XML::Rules->new(
    stripspaces => 7,
    rules => {
        info => sub {
            $nowplaying = $_[1]->{_content} 
            if $_[1]->{name} eq 'now_playing';
            return ;
        }
    }
);
$parser->parse($streaminfo);

print $nowplaying;

I'm sure it's again something real simple I'm missing here.
