I would hesitate to recommend the flip-flop operator to a Perl newcomer. In fact, I would hesitate several times to recommend it to anyone. If someone is advanced enough to use it, they perhaps have already found it, and can deal with the inherent surprises.

Without code, and without an XML walker of some type, we are just guessing according to our favored solutions. Best to see the engine before the mechanic makes a diagnosis.
