Re^2: Duplicate entries with nested xml

[tobyink]

This part:

my $file = qq(appsimage_EBSB4.xml);
open my $fh, '<', $file;
binmode $fh;
my $doc = XML::LibXML->load_xml(IO => $fh);
close $fh;

Could be written more succinctly as:

my $doc  = XML::LibXML->load_xml( location => qq(appsimage_EBSB4.xml) 
+);

"...written more succinctly..."

Sure tobyink, nothing but the truth. I didn't know this.

To be honest: I'm still using XML::Simple :-[ because i got a lot of config stuff written with it and cheated my example from the docs of XML::LibXML.

N.B.: I also tried XML::LibXML::Simple with the stuff the OP provided, but it failed with the entity...

XML::Rules will provide an easy way forward. Using the DTD or a few examples it can infer rules that'll instruct the parser to produce data structure equivalent to a well set XML::Simple and at the same time allow you to start tweaking and trimming the structure to better fit your needs.
