use XML::Rules;
my $parser = XML::Rules->new(rules => {}, ident => ' ');
print $parser->toXML(
Shelf_Info => {
switch => [
{Name => "Puebla01", shelfType => [7480], commentText => ['ATM
+ Core switch']},
{Name => "Puebla02", shelfType => [7440], commentText => ['ATM
+ access switch']},
]
});
Not XML::Smart though. It makes use of the fact that the value of a tag attribute may only be a single string, not a hash or array so it's clear that the shelfType and commentText must be a child tag, not an attribute. Generally XML::Rules attempts to create the simplest possible XML that'd contain the data and attribute is considered simpler than child tag.
Update: With version 1.16 I just uploaded to CPAN, it'd be even simpler:
use XML::Rules ToXML => { ident => ' ' };
print ToXML(
Shelf_Info => {
switch => [
{Name => "Puebla01", shelfType => [7480], commentText => ['ATM
+ Core switch']},
{Name => "Puebla02", shelfType => [7440], commentText => ['ATM
+ access switch']},
]
});
You may now instantiate a parser and import a subroutine that'll call the specified method on that instance to simplify the usage.

Enoch was right!
Enjoy the last years of Rome.

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).
