okay so my XML looks like this: 
<table>
<Entry No="1">
    <lastname_>Dasd</lastname_>
    <firstname_>Dasd</firstname_>
    <street_>Dasd</street_>
    <houseno_>12</houseno_>
    <zip_>1231</zip_>
    <city_>Dasd</city_>
    <sex_>maennlich</sex_>
    <marital_>geschieden</marital_>
    <character_>Brille
Sommersprossen</character_>
    <description_>asdas
</description_>
  </Entry>
  <Entry No="2">
    <lastname_>Dasd</lastname_>
    <firstname_>Dasd</firstname_>
    <street_>Dasd</street_>
    <houseno_>12</houseno_>
    <zip_>1231</zip_>
    <city_>Dasds</city_>
    <sex_>maennlich</sex_>
    <marital_>geschieden</marital_>
    <character_>Brille
Sommersprossen</character_>
    <description_>asdas
</description_>
  </Entry>
</table>

what i want to do is get the textcontent of the childnotes of the "Entry" nodes and put them in a hash (e.g. $info{"lastname_no of entry, $info{"firstname_no of entry, etc) but i cannot for the life of me do it. what i have so far: 
my $file = 'xml.xml';
    my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();
    my $tree = $parser->parse_file($file);
    my @tmpinfo;
    
    foreach my $sample ($tree->findnodes('/table/Entry'))
    {    
        $i=0;
        foreach my $content ($sample->findnodes('*'))
        {
            $tmpinfo[$i]=$content->textContent;
            $i++;
            print $tmpinfo[$i];
        }
                   $i++;
    }

i would put the content of $tmpinfo into the hash later, but it tells me $tmpinfo is uninitialized? im so completely burnt out on this problem, please help.
