Hello, I posted a message a little while ago about a problem I was having with a CSV file... well i've given up on that one and i'm trying to read the XML file which has also been provided. I have used XML::Simple.pm, but that has given me a confusing datastructure, containing the following:
use XML::Simple;
my $xml = XMLin($xmlfile);
my @items = @{$xml->{Item}};
print "Contains: ".Dumper(@items);
This outputs the following...
$VAR1 = {
'Price' => '24.9899997711',
'SmallImageURL' => 'http://images.iwoot.com/thumbs/20qpuz_th
+u.jpg',
};
$VAR2 = {
'Price' => '24.9899997711',
'SmallImageURL' => 'http://images.iwoot.com/thumbs/8bunju_th
+u.jpg',
};
$VAR3 = {
'Price' => '24.9899997711',
'SmallImageURL' => 'http://images.iwoot.com/thumbs/DISRIF_th
+u.gif',
};
etc... can anyone just post up a bit of code to explain how I can read each of the values? Sorry its a dump question, but atleast I should be able to get this to work I hope ;-)
Thanks, Tom

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.
