XML I have:
<items> <item> <id>12345</id> <name>Name1</name> <desc>Description</desc> <img>/catalog/image1.jpg</img> <size>50.0 mm</size> </item> <item> <id>54321</id> <name>Name2</name> <desc>Description2</desc> <img>/catalog/image1.jpg</img> <size>50.0 mm</size> </item> </items>
I run this:
use XML::Twig; my $twig = new XML::Twig(twig_roots => {'item/id'=>1, 'item/name'=> 1} + ); $twig->parsefile('in.xml'); $twig->set_pretty_print('indented'); $twig->print_to_file('out.xml');
I get:
<items> <id>12345</id> <name>Name1</name> <id>54321</id> <name>Name2</name> </items>
What I need are <item>..</item> inbetween.
