Hi,
Execute the below code, you will get the 2nd minor item item value. See if you see the $output reference you can see the entire data structure output for the corresponding xml. From the data structure you can get whatever it necessary. Basically, ForceArray will each and every tag in array format based on the hirearchy. If you create this xml in xml file and if we see the '+' symbol hirearchy in the same format it will parse as a array and it will display.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Simple;
my $xml = qq{<SuperItem>
<UserID>1234</UserID>
<MajorItems>
<MinorItem>
<Item>Box</Item>
</MinorItem>
</MajorItems>
<MajorItems>
<MinorItem>
<Item>Suitcase</Item>
</MinorItem>
</MajorItems>
</SuperItem>};
use XML::Simple qw/:strict/;
use Data::Dumper;
my $xml_simple = XML::Simple->new(KeyAttr => 1, KeepRoot => 1, ForceAr
+ray => 1);
my $output = $xml_simple->XMLin($xml);
print "\nEntire xml..", Dumper($output);
print "\n2nd Minor item..", $output->{'SuperItem'}[0]{'MajorItems'}[1]
+{'MinorItem'}[0]{'Item'}[0];

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).

are good places to start.
