It's hard to answer this question without seeing
the data structure, but here are a few clues.
Use Data::Dumper to see what the hash looks like:
use Data::Dumper;
print header('text/plain');
print Dumper($foo);
If you use forcearray when parsing the XML:
$foo = XMLin($xml, forcearray => 1);
Then you can access the data in a structure like
this (which is exactly what Dumper prints):
$foo = {
'INFO' => [
{
'lastchecked' => '20010506070758',
'content' => 'Rendered by the Newest Nodes XML Generator'
+,
'site' => 'http://perlmonks.org',
'sitename' => 'Perl Monks'
}
]
};
With loops like this:
if(defined @{$data->{'INFO'}}){
for my $when(@{$data->{'INFO'}}){
$lastcheck = $when->{'lastchecked'}
}
}

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).
