Are you sure the snippet you provide is the actual code giving the problem?
Here an excerpt from
XML::Simple:
if($StrictMode and $dirn eq 'in') {
croak "No value specified for 'ForceArray' option in call to XML
+$dirn()";
}
$opt->{forcearray} = 0;
And
$StrictMode is true only if you
use XML::Simple in this way:
use XML::Simple qw(:strict);
Another issue is in the file-reading part:
open(FILE, "someFile.DTD") or die "can't open file: $!";
#...
my $config = XMLin($FILE, forcearray => 1);
This use of
FILE and
$FILE isn't going to work.
