Need Help??

in reply to Perl XML

I use XML::LibXML with great results.
Try this (untested):

use XML::LibXML;

#Parse XML
my $template = 'xmldocument.xml';
my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();
my $doc = $parser->parse_file($template);

#Find desired node(s)
my @nodes= $doc->findnodes("//genre");

#Put results in array
my @information;
for(@nodes)
{  my $data = $_->textContent;
   push (@information,$data);
}
[download]

This puts the text from all the "genre" nodes into an array.
