in thread need help with for loop within an xml

for each block I will have different br_ip

I don't understand what you mean, your output has different br_ips. Un-comment this to see each block being searched

 #print "Searching for $br_ip\n";

    Yeah sorry my bad I just verified with different with different subnet values and it IS picking the correct values.

    Can you please help me understand the modification you made to XML:Simple

    as below 
    my $xml = do {local $/='';'file.xml'} ;

#my $servers = XMLin('file.xml');
my $servers = XMLin($xml, ForceArray => 1);

    What does this do?

[d/l]
      my $xml = do {local $/='';<DATA>} ; reads the lines following __DATA__ into a string.
      Since your XML is in a separate file use my $servers = XMLin('file.xml',ForceArray => 1); and remove the __DATA__ line and all the lines following.

      ForceArray=1 ensures $servers->{server} is an arrayref even if there is only one server block in the file.

      See OPTIONS in XML::Simple
