Hi, Thank you, but I am unable to figure out my exact requirement from a huge pool of info there in "state of web spidering in perl". Can you specify exactly which matches my req ? Thanks, Bala.

    Personally, I would look at using XML::LibXML and XPath queries to retrieve the child nodes. XML::Twig is also a very similar and capable approach, especially if your XML documents do not fit into available memory.

      Hi ,

      With all your help , I am able to get the child nodes as an array using the code below : 

      my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();
my $doc = $parser->parse_string($string);
my @nodes = $doc->findnodes("//ROOT_TAG/*");
Is there any possible ways to do this ?

      The resultant array elements of @nodes are all XML::LibXML::Elements object. I need this to be hash for my processing. Is there any way to do this ?

      Thanks,

      Bala.

        Yeah, make it into a hash, use XML::LibXML::Element methods, I linked the docs above
