Re: XML Parsing

Hello, if i understand your question, ie retrieve the root name of the XML (not in your example), you can do it using XML::Twig

#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use XML::Twig;
my $twig= XML::Twig->new( ... );


$twig->parse(<DATA>);

print $twig->root->gi,"\n";

Thx, I'll give that a try. I was using LibXML and was able to use KeepRoot option and get the name put was not able to extract it. I'm new to Perl.	[reply]
