note tobias_hofer When reading-in xml the XML-Simple provides the xml as a hash-structure.<br> Using Data::Dumper to give a print-out on command line.<br> Thus you can easily see how to access the elements.<br>Some xml-tags which may occur more than once are grouped into an array as far as I remember..<br> IMHO Data::Dumper is an easy way of exploring structures :-) <br> Hope this helps!<br> <br> Best regards<br> Tobias 1016275 1016275
