XML::Twig is too flexible, and too verbose. But it's really quite cool once you get it working ... You didn't give your original hash structure, so I pretended what it was.
use strict;
use XML::Twig;
my $hash = {
name => 'bob',
value1 => 'blah',
value2 => 'blah2',
};
my $twig = XML::Twig->new(pretty_print => 'indented');
my $elt = create_element(newPhone => $hash);
$twig->set_root($elt);
$twig->print();
sub create_element
{
my $gi = shift;
my $data = shift;
my $t = XML::Twig::Elt->new($gi);
if (ref $data)
{
while (my ($k,$v) = each(%$data))
{
create_element($k, $v)->paste(last_child => $t);
}
}
else
{
$t->set_text($data);
}
$t;
}
Saved as "x":
$ perl x
<newPhone>
<value1>blah</value1>
<name>bob</name>
<value2>blah2</value2>
</newPhone>
Hope that helps.

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).
