Hi,

You can do in XML Simple itself by passing KeyAttr => 1. Hope using for loop you can take the value of id.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumper;


my $xml_simple    = XML::Simple->new( KeepRoot => 1, KeyAttr => 1, For
+ceArray => 1 );
my $response_hash = eval{ $xml_simple->XMLin( "cars.xml" ) };
print Dumper($response_hash);

Output :
$VAR1 = {
          'root' => [
                    {
                      'unsold' => [
                                  {
                                    'car' => [
                                             {
                                               'model' => [
                                                          'Hyundai'
