Monks,

I am having an XML document which I am parsing using XML::Simple module. Here is my xml document which is shown in 2 different styles: 1)In such a way that pseudohashh is created 2)no pseudohash

STYLE 1

<booklist>

   <book type="technical">

      <author>Book 1 author 1</author>
      <author>Book 1 author 2</author>
      <title>Book 1 title</title>
      <isbn>Book1ISBN</isbn>

   </book>

  </booklist>

[download]

STYLE 2

<booklist>
   <book >

      <author>Book 1 author 1</author>
      <author>Book 1 author 2</author>
      <title>Book 1 title</title>
      <isbn>Book1ISBN</isbn>

      type="technical"

   </book>
  </booklist>
[download]

Just the position of attribute, type="technical" is changed. (thats it!)

Here is my perl code:

 
use strict;
use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumper;

my $booklist = XMLin('book.xml', ForceArray => 1);
# print Dumper($booklist);

foreach my $book (@{$booklist->{book}}) {
    
        print $book->{type}."\n";
    
}
[download]

When I give STYLE 1 to perl, its fine and displaying "technical". But this is not happening with STYLE 2. My original XML file has its contents similar to STYLE 2

What to do?

Thanks,

Uday Sagar.
