Ken, Thank you for your help. I am open to using any XML module for parsing my documents. I have parsed my document using XML::Parser, XML::Twig and XML::XPath. Since each of these XML files are huge, I would like to try out a couple of parsing methods to find the most efficient. And your code is a great help for this. Need to figure out how to use to parse my document which has different levels of nested children. Thank you :)
