Thanks a lot, this seems to work. However, can you explain to me two things, the line

# print $doc->serialize();
[download]

As i ve got no idea about what it is suppose to actually do. and the use of my $doc = $parser->parse_fh(\*DATA);. I guess this is to work with filehandle but i was under the impression that parse_file was much better for big file manipulation (since i am in fact using to parse some 600 meg XML...), but then again, thanks a lot, that s going on very well. Cheers everyone for the help
