Looking at the man page for XML::Simple, it looks like the "ValueAttr" option does not really fit with the data that you have. It looks like this option is intended for cases where lots of different elements have a common attribute, and you want to have this parsed into a structure where the element names are hash keys and the values of the common attribute are hash values.
In your case, you have a lot of instances with the same element name and two common attributes, where one attribute serves as a "key" field (unique to each instance of the element) and the other does not; in this case, the "KeyAttr" option works well, and there simply isn't anything else that the module can do for you. The initial reply above is the way to go to get what you want.

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).
