What Perl code have you written to address this problem?

Maybe you want to write a Perl program that first checks the attributes for xpath1 and then, if unsuccessful, checks the attributes for xpath2?

Or maybe you want to combine the two xpath queries into one?

I recommend modifying xpath1 so it returns all nodes with the appripriate Id attribute. If that is unsuccessful, run the (appropriately modified) xpath2. But that means you will have to learn XPath yourself.
