Please see also XML::LibXML::Simple for a handy replacement for XML::Simple:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use Data::Dump;
use XML::LibXML::Simple qw(XMLin);

$/ = undef;

my $xml  = <DATA>;
my $ref = XMLin $xml;

# dd $ref;

foreach my $msg (@{$ref->{'message'}}) {
    my $h = substr($msg->{'time'}, 8, 2);
    my $n = substr($msg->{'time'}, 10, 2);
    my $author = $msg->{'content'} =~ s/^\/me// ? $msg->{'author'} : "
+<$msg->{'author'}>";
    print "$h:$n $author: $msg->{'content'}\n";
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
