I had to fix your XML to be well formed: "se-ssion" should not contain the hyphen and "/user_location" should not start on a new line.

Sorry .. I didn't get your point. What are you trying to echo?

All the text without tags. It is returned as a nodeset, so you can iterate over it and do whatever else with it.

for my $t in //text() { perl { chomp $t; print "$t," } }

The following translates your xml into a Perl structure that you can extract the data from and format as desired:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use XML::Simple;
$/=undef;
my $xml = <DATA>;
my $ref = XMLin $xml;
print Dumper $ref;

Thanks hdb!!! But is there any other alternative to this? Because the output is a bit lengthy!

Well, you need to pick the pieces you want, like:

print $ref->{originator}{location},"\n";
[download]

use warnings;
use strict;
use XML::Twig;

my $t= XML::Twig->new( pretty_print => 'indented',
                        twig_handlers => { '_all_' => sub {print $_->t
+ext,"\n"} }, #or print $_->text," " as ypu prefer
);
$/='';
$t->parse(<DATA>);

There's enough on this site already, besides "all text between the tags without any formatting"? I don't think that's the real task.
