You might want to try a different module, XML::Rules.

use strict;
use XML::Rules;
use Data::Dumper qw(Dumper);

my $parser = XML::Rules->new(
    stripspaces => 15,
    rules => {
        'type,author' => sub { return ( $_[0].'Id' => $_[1]->{id}, $_[
+0] => $_[1]->{_content}); },
        field => sub { return ( $_[1]->{name} => $_[1]->{_content}); }
+,
        data => 'pass no content',
        node => 'pass no content'
    }
);

print Dumper($parser->parse(\*DATA));

__DATA__
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
