opps.. shoudl have been bit clear in previous post. if tag is missing then `$f[3] = eval { $elt->first_child('Description[@langid="1"]')->att('Value'); };` Works.But if tags are not closed properly like `<Category ID="1" LowPic="" Score="0" Searchable="0" ThumbPic="" UNCA +TID="" Visible="0"> <Name ID="0" Value="" langid="1"/> <ParentCategory ID="1"/> </Category>` [download] then i get an error..If i delete this .then it works.Otherwose it throws an error as mentioned earlier.

Well, you could also eval { $sth->execute(@f); }; </c> that way if @f is missing stuff that just has to be there, like langid, you can ignore the raised error (eval catches it)	[reply]
