in reply to help to preserve the order of hash
Howdy!
Let me call your attention to the documentation for XML::Simple, in particular the part where it notes some assumptions that must hold. Specifically, the part where it says "You don't mind that when things get slurped into a hash, the order is lost".
It notes that "...you'll probably outgrow these assumptions fairly quickly". You probably need to switch to another module.
yours,
