good day perl-monks today i have a question regarding textmangling and converting.

well i want to use perl for text-mangling - so we can use the XML::Simple module. here's an example of a little script to parse your XML:

see the Code: 

 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumper;

my $xmlfile = shift || die "Usage: $0 <XML_FILE>\n";

my $ref;
eval {
  $ref = XMLin($xmlfile,
    ForceArray    => 0,
    KeyAttr       => [ ],
    SuppressEmpty => '',
  ) or die "Can't read XML from $xmlfile: $!\n";

};
die $@ if($@);
print Dumper $ref;

Explantion: iterating trough the array / hash - this does create a file and helps carving up the data into comma separated lines of data than can be redirected to file.
