...which dies horribly when there is only one <Entry>-element, e.g. the following XML:

<table>
<Entry No="1">
    <lastname_>Dasd</lastname_>
    <firstname_>Dasd</firstname_>
    <street_>Dasd</street_>
    <houseno_>12</houseno_>
    <zip_>1231</zip_>
    <city_>Dasd</city_>
    <sex_>maennlich</sex_>
    <marital_>geschieden</marital_>
    <character_>Brille
Sommersprossen</character_>
    <description_>asdas
</description_>
  </Entry>
</table>

Which prooves what Anonymous monk said before... ;)

True, but why would you write a script for a single record? ;)	[reply]

Probably a script fetching external xml-files, where you get 0-n <Entry>-tags in each file... ;)	[reply]

I agree with the statement about the limitations of XML::Simple. I like it a lot as it can solve simple problems with three lines of code, and I find it acceptable to use the one or other option as well (say `ForceArray`), but once you reach that point, a more powerful module is usually required.
