The thing is that there are (at least sometimes) several <asset>s in each <account> so the $account->{asset} is an array ref. The problem with XML::Simple is that it's not always an arrayref.
You may use this instead:
use strict;
use XML::Rules;
sub do_something_with {
print join(', ', @_), "\n";
}
my $parser = XML::Rules->new(
rules => {
_default => 'content',
asset => 'as array no content',
account => sub {
my ($tag, $attr) = @_;
foreach my $asset (@{$attr->{asset}}) {
do_something_with($attr->{accountId}, $attr->{accountN
+ame}, $asset->{assetId}, $asset->{assetName});
}
},
}
);
$parser->parse(\*DATA);
__DATA__
<data>
<account>
<accountId>001</accountId>
<accountName>Account 001</accountName>
<asset>
<assetId>abcd</assetId>
<assetName>Asset abcd</assetName>
</asset>
...
Or if you'd prefer a data structure containing all the data:
use strict;
use XML::Rules;
my $parser = XML::Rules->new(
rules => {
_default => 'content',
'asset,account' => 'as array no content',
'data' => 'pass no content'
}
);
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper($parser->parse(\*DATA));

Enoch was right!
Enjoy the last years of Rome.

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).
