...but I want to use XML for the config file
I hope for the sake of your immortal soul, that in your xml you store something more complicated than
<options>
<section name="users">
<option name="larry" value="in0n3line?" />
<option name="dominus" value="errorme$$age!" />
</section>
</options>
Such data, which could far easier (and more robust than with XML::Simple (sometimes it's a PITA to get XML::Simple to parse or write how you want it to)) written as classic INI-Files. Using XML for this may be considered NTBI™ ( Not The Best Idea). For a deeper discussion refer Configuration file design an my reply to it.

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).
