Hey guys, Here's a simple question, I'm not able to answer. How can I find out, if a Childnode contains specific attributes. My code Looks like this: 

<text>
<metadata attribute1= ".." Attribute2=".."></metadata>
</text>

<text>
<metadata attribute1= ".." Attribute2=".."></metadata>
</text>

I find the text-tag without any Problems. But when I try to catch the metadata to get the attributes of it, then I get Troubles. Here my code: 
if($data->nodeName eq 'text'){    
 if ($data->hasChildNodes()) {
  my $ch = $data->getChildnodes;
      
      }
}

This is all I have, because I don't know how to go further. (get always the error message: Can_t locate object or reference "getAttribute" via package XML::LibXML::Nodelist) Hope someone could help me with this beginner-mistake Regards, Sandorado
