I find that XML::Simple is very well suited to this sort of task. The following may fit your needs:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use XML::Simple;
my $xml = << "EOF";
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<monk value="PM">
<say>JAPH</say>
<vals>
<val val1="F" val2="value f">
</val>
<val val1="FO" val2="value fo">
</val>
<val val1="FOO" val2="value foo">
</val>
<val val1="FOOB" val2="value foob">
</val>
<val val1="FOOBA" val2="value fooba">
</val>
<val val1="FOOBAR" val2="value foobar">
</val>
</vals>
</monk>
EOF
my $xs = new XML::Simple;
my $xmlhref = $xs->XMLin($xml);
if ($xmlhref->{say}) {
print $xmlhref->{say} . "\n" if (grep { $_->{val1} eq 'FOO' } @{$xm
+lhref->{vals}->{val}});
}
Cheers,

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
