in reply to xml::libxml open, add and save not formatting properly

You might look at XML::Bare or XML::ED as they are very simple.

    Looks interesting, unfortunately this projects requirements are to only use xml::libxml Thanks for the feedback!
      Too bad that you can't use something like XML::Tidy. I tried it, and it returned this:
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <config> <sites> <site> <sitename>www.example.com</sitename> <active>1</active> <rooturl>http://www.example.com.com/</rooturl> <name>Example</name> </site> <site> <sitename>Test entry</sitename> <name /> <rooturl>http://www.test.com.com/</rooturl> <reportname>test report name</reportname> </site> </sites> </config>
      The code that I used:
      #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use XML::Tidy; my $tidy_obj = XML::Tidy->new( 'filename' => '/path/to/xmlfile'); $tidy_obj->tidy(); $tidy_obj->write();
