Agreed. The story does not look as favorable for XML::Simple anymore if the structure changes. If one makes it more robust using ForceArray => 1, then at least one more loop is required:

my $xml = XMLin( 'CC.xml', ( ForceArray => 1 ) );
for my $day (@{ $xml->{Week}[0]{Day} }) {
  next unless $day->{'day-of-week'} eq "Tuesday";
  for my $time ( @{ $day->{Times}[0]{Time} } ) {
    print $time->{'start-time'},"\n" if exists $time->{'start-time'};
  }
}

Not really so "simple" anymore...

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.
