I am currently parsing a relatively simple XML file with the following form with XML::Simple

<meta fpi="1234567890">
<isbn>1-234-56789-0</isbn>
<edition>First</edition>
<authorgroup>
    <author>
        <firstname>John</firstname>
        <surname>Smith</surname>
        <authorblurb url="http://www.someurl.com/etc/nothing.php"/>
    </author>
</authorgroup>
<pagenums>384</pagenums>
<pubdate>October 2001</pubdate>
<subjectset>
    <subject>some.lame.subject</subject>
    <subject>another.lame.subject</subject>
</subjectset>
<publisher>
    <publishername>Publisher Inc.</publishername>
    <imprintname>Publisher Inc.</imprintname>
</publisher>
...
</meta>

The problem I encounter is when I am done "parsing" and separating this data, I do an XMLout($data) but my new data looks like the following.

<imeta edition="First" fpi="0123456790" isbn="0-123-456789-0" msrp="39
+.95" pagenums="384" pubdate="October 2001">
  <authorgroup name="author" firstname="John" surname="Smith">
    <authorblurb url="http://www.someurl.com/etc/nothing.php" />
  </authorgroup>
..

Notice how previous tags are now attribute identifiers. Is there a way for XML::Simple to preserve the exact XML structure of my original file when I call XMLout? I don't think it is too much to ask to have the same tags on output. Am I missing an option in XMLout?

• 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.
