Consider using XML::Twig, which can parse large files without consuming a lot of memory:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use XML::Twig;
use feature 'say';
my $parser = XML::Twig::->new(
twig_handlers => {
'/pathway/reaction[@name=~/^rn:/]' => \&handle,
# use XPath to describe what you want to handle
}
);
$parser->parsefile("myfile");
sub handle {
my($twig, $elt) = @_;
# handlers are given an XML::Twig object and an XML::Twig::Elt
+ object
say $elt->att("name");
say " substrate[s]: ", map { $_->att("id")." " } $elt->children("s
+ubstrate");
say " product[s]: ", map { $_->att("id")." " } $elt->children("pro
+duct");
}
Sorry if my advice was wrong.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
