Check out some of the XML tutorials online for explanations of attributes. Here are some examples of accessing attributes.

use warnings;
use strict;
use XML::LibXML;

my $dom = XML::LibXML->load_xml(string => <<'EOT');
<test>
  <result_summary total_records="594" total_pages="3" current_page="1"
+ records_this_page="250" download_key="xmxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnx" time_star

</test>
EOT

### get individual attribute by name:
print "\n******* get individual attribute by name: ***********\n";
foreach my $attribute( $dom->findnodes('/test/result_summary/@total_pa
+ges') ) {
    print "total_pages = ", $attribute->to_literal, "\n";
}

### get individual as hash refs:
print "\n******* get individual attribute as hash refs: ***********\n"
+;
foreach my $result_sum ( $dom->findnodes('/test/result_summary') ) {
    print "total_pages = ", $result_sum->{total_pages}, "\n";
}

### get all attributes:
print "\n******* get all attributes: ***********\n";
foreach my $attribute( $dom->findnodes('/test/result_summary/@*') ) {
    print $attribute->nodeName, " = ", $attribute->to_literal, "\n";
}

Output:


******* get individual attribute by name: ***********
total_pages = 3

******* get individual attribute as hash refs: ***********
total_pages = 3

******* get all attributes: ***********
total_records = 594
total_pages = 3
current_page = 1
records_this_page = 250
download_key = xmxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnx
time_start = 2020-02-19 15:50:55
feed_version = 1.44

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
