    There are *lots* of XML modules available... if you're new to XML and your data is simple enough, I'd recommend XML::Simple, or try doing a Super Search on XML.

      I normally use XML::Simple to convert an XML file to a hash array. The following code will store the contents of in.xml in a hash array. 

      #-- Sample code
use strict;
use XML::Simple;

my $mXML;

$mXML = XMLin('./in.xml',forcearray => 1);

      You might also want to use the Data::Dumper module to view the hash array.

      I hope this helps.
