It sounds like you might be using XML::Simple. I would not recommend that module except for the very simplest of XML inputs, of which your XML is apparently not one, because the data structures it outputs are often unreliable, which would be exactly the problem you are experiencing. As a replacement I could suggest XML::Rules, which provides more reliable data structures as its output. Other good modules for reading XML are XML::LibXML (which supports XPath expressions) and XML::Twig.

Update: Added the bit about unreliable data structures.

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.
