You can use XML::Smart to do this like so:
my $xml_obj = new XML::Smart( $xml ) ;
my $hash_when_cat_eq_special = ( $xml_obj->{list}{value}( 'category',
+'eq', 'special' )->pointer() );
$hash_when_cat_eq_special will contain:
{
"/nodes" => { parameter => 1 },
"/order" => ["category", "parameter"],
"category" => "special",
"parameter" => {
"/order" => ["instance", "CONTENT"],
"CONTENT" => "\n nameofparameter1\n
+ ",
"instance" => 0,
},
}
Of course you can get more specific as follows:
my $xml_obj = new XML::Smart( $xml ) ;
my $param_contents = $xml_obj->{list}{value}( 'category', 'eq', 'speci
+al' )->{parameter}->content();
$param_contents will contain:
"nameofparameter1"

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).
