Hi, Finally after having some tough time with XML parsing i am relatively comfortable now , but stuck with a small problem in parsing the below XML

<DCA>
    <testcase type = "Interactive">
    <step command ="LaunchApp " param1 = "executablepath" param2 = "di
+rpath"/>
    <step command = "Gohere"/>
    <step command = "Changemode" param1 = "100"/>
    <step command = "CaptureRectanlge" param1 = "3" param2 = "96" para
+m3 = "726" param4 = "580"/>
    <step command = "CompareImage" param1 = "D:\\img1.jpg" param2 = "D
+:\\img2.jpg "/>
    </testcase>
    
    <testcase type = "broswer">
    <step command ="Launchapp " param1 = "executablepath" param2 = "di
+rpath"/>
    <step command = "Gohere"/>
    <step command = "Channgemode" param1 = "100"/>
    <step command = "CaptureRectanlge" param1 = "3" param2 = "96" para
+m3 = "726" param4 = "580"/>
    <step command = "CompareImage" image1 = "D:\\img1.jpg" image2 = "D
+:\\img2.jpg "/>
    </testcase>
</DCA>

I am using XML::Parser module to traverse through the elements but i am not able to define handlers for the attributes for this xml. How can i access the attributes in each step, here is my below code. I want to access each and every attribute like 'command' , 'param1'. etc. Any help is highly appreciated.

use warnings;
use 5.010;
use XML::Simple;
use XML::MyXML;
use XML::Twig;
use XML::Parser;

my $parser = new XML::Parser;
$parser->setHandlers(Start => \&startElement,
                           End => \&endElement,);                     
+      

$parser->parsefile('D:\\ABC\\Perl Projects\\DCA.xml');

sub startElement {
       my( $parseinst, $element, %attrs ) = @_;
       SWITCH: {
              if ($element eq "testcase") {
                     $count++;
                     $tag = "testcase";
                     print "Testcase $count:\n";
                     last SWITCH;
              }
              if ($element eq "step") {
                     print "Step: ";
                     $tag = "step";
                     last SWITCH;
              }
              if (%attrs eq "command") {
                     print "Command: ";
                     $tag = "Command";
                     last SWITCH;
              }
       }
}

sub endElement {
       my( $parseinst, $element ) = @_;
       if ($element eq "testcase") {
              print "\n\n";
       } elsif ($element eq "title") {
              print "\n";
       }
}
