Hi all, I have a question in how to handle parsing out node values that have the same title. Right now when I use Lib XML it finds the nodes, but dumps them altogether as one string. I need to be able to separate them out uniquely. Any good/easy way to do that? Here's an example: 
<parent_node>
<node1><child_node>stuff_I_can_get</child_node></node1>
<node2><child_node_a>stuff_I_want_1</child_node_a></node2>
<node2><child_node_a>stuff_I_want_2</child_node_a></node2>
</parent_node>

So I can grab node1's value of "stuff I can get" without issue, but when I grab node2's value under "child node a", since both are called node2 and child node a, both ""stuff_I_want_1" and "stuff_I_want_2" come back together as one string and would return as "stuff_I_want_1stuff_I_want2" ....my code is: 
foreach $test($dom->findnodes('/parent_node'))
{
    $mystring = $test->findnodes('./node2/child_node_a');
}

So I need a way to identify both nodes uniquely somehow even though they are called the exact same thing but have two different values
