If you use Data::Dumper along with XML::Simple (the dynamic duo?) you can see that, using forcearray => 1 with XML::Simple, your XML becomes this:
$VAR1 = {
'node' => {
'edge2' => {
'community' => [
'anotherthing'
],
'loopback' => [
'10.6.21.10',
'10.12.71.14'
]
},
'edge1' => {
'community' => [
'something'
],
'loopback' => [
'172.16.254.10'
]
}
}
};
So, I believe you want something like this:
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict ;
use warnings ;
use XML::Simple ;
#use Data::Dumper ;
my $xml = <<'EOD' ;
<network>
<node name="edge1">
<community>something</community>
<loopback>172.16.254.10</loopback>
</node>
<node name="edge2">
<community>anotherthing</community>
<loopback>10.6.21.10</loopback>
<loopback>10.12.71.14</loopback>
</node>
</network>
EOD
my $data = XMLin( $xml, forcearray => 1 ) ;
#print Dumper( $data ) ;
foreach my $key ( keys %{$data->{'node'}} )
{
foreach my $loopback ( @{$data->{'node'}{$key}{'loopback'}} )
{
print "key = $key; loopback = $loopback\n" ;
}
}
Output:
key = edge2; loopback = 10.6.21.10
key = edge2; loopback = 10.12.71.14
key = edge1; loopback = 172.16.254.10

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).
