About XML::Simple—In XMLin
- Use the RootName option to set the root to AdXML. I'll assume you set the ref to the root to $AdXML.
- Use the ForceArray option on Preroll, Midroll and Postroll.
That way, no matter whether there's one or some other number of instances, $AdXML->{Midroll} etc. will always be an array ref (not a hash ref). (not tested.)
- With this approach, the number of ads, the arbitrary order of the ads, and the arbitrary order of their attributes is not an issue.
- If you didn't know about ForceArray, you probably don't know about KeyAttr either. Read the docs on it; as they say, it's important and you'll want to understand it.

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).
