You might like to try XML::TreePuller. If your sample is a fair representation of your problem then something like the following ought turn the trick for you:

use strict; use warnings; use XML::TreePuller; use XML::Writer; my $fileA = <<XML; <doc> <elem>A</elem> <elem>B</elem> <elem>C</elem> </doc> XML my $fileB = <<XML; <doc> <elem>1</elem> <elem>5</elem> <elem>10</elem> </doc> XML # Open both input files open my $inA, "<", \$fileA; open my $inB, "<", \$fileB; my $readerA = XML::TreePuller->new (IO => $inA); my $readerB = XML::TreePuller->new (IO => $inB); my $writer = XML::Writer->new (DATA_MODE => 1); # Process the files parallel $readerA->iterate_at('/doc/elem' => 'short'); $readerB->iterate_at('/doc/elem' => 'short'); $writer->startTag ('doc'); while ((my $elmtA = $readerA->next ()) && (my $elmtB = $readerB->next +())) { my $nameA = $elmtA->name (); my $nameB = $elmtB->name (); next if $nameA ne 'elem'; die "Element mismatch: $nameA ne $nameB\n" if $nameA ne $nameB; $writer->dataElement ($nameA, $elmtA->text () x $elmtB->text ()); } $writer->endTag(); close $inA; close $inB;

Prints:

<doc> <elem>A</elem> <elem>BBBBB</elem> <elem>CCCCCCCCCC</elem> </doc>
True laziness is hard work

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
