### get individual attribute by name:
print "\n******* get individual attribute by name: ***********\n";
foreach my $attribute( $dom->findnodes('/test/result_summary/@total_pa

    print "total_pages = ", $attribute->to_literal, "\n";

### get individual as hash refs:
print "\n******* get individual attribute as hash refs: ***********\n"
+;
foreach my $result_sum ( $dom->findnodes('/test/result_summary') ) {
    print "total_pages = ", $result_sum->{total_pages}, "\n";
}

### get all attributes:
print "\n******* get all attributes: ***********\n";
foreach my $attribute( $dom->findnodes('/test/result_summary/@*') ) {
    print $attribute->nodeName, " = ", $attribute->to_literal, "\n";
