You might want to try a different module, XML::Rules.
use strict;
use XML::Rules;
use Data::Dumper qw(Dumper);
my $parser = XML::Rules->new(
stripspaces => 15,
rules => {
'type,author' => sub { return ( $_[0].'Id' => $_[1]->{id}, $_[
+0] => $_[1]->{_content}); },
field => sub { return ( $_[1]->{name} => $_[1]->{_content}); }
+,
data => 'pass no content',
node => 'pass no content'
}
);
print Dumper($parser->parse(\*DATA));
