In that case, I'd look into using XML::Twig to parse your XML document(s). Looking at it, it seems like the code should be pretty simple. I've not used it before, so I'm sure I'll get some details wrong, but I would think that something like this could do it:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Twig;
use Data::Dump;

my @work_items;

# Set up the parser
my $twig = XML::Twig->new(
    twig_handlers => {
        usageAccum => \&gather_values,
    }
}

# Parse the file and gather work items
$twig_parsefile('foo.xml');

# Process the work items
for my $r (@work_items) {
    print Dumper($r), "\n";
}

sub gather_values {
    # We just got a usageAccum node, so get the interesting attributes
    # and push them into the work item list.
    my $node = shift;
    push @work_items, {
        inclUnits     => $node->{attr}->{inclUnits};
        inclUnitsUsed => $node->{attr}->{inclUnitsUsed};
        shared        => $node->{attr}->{shared};
    };
}

I didn't test it, as I'm busy at the moment. But you should be able to turn this into something useful. If you have trouble, hopefully we can get an XML::Twig savvy monk to chime in with tips.
