Thanks, it works now. A quick follow-up question. I've just noticed that a few "nodes" have child "nodes" with similar attributes:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<App>
<node name="1st node" text="Text of 1st node" />
<node name="2nd node" text="Text of 2nd node">
<node name="subnode A" text="Text of subnode A" />
<node name="subnode B" text="Text of subnode B" />
</node>
<node name="3rd node" text="Text of 3rd node" />
...
</App>

I'd like to print this out as follows:

1st node: Text of 1st node
2nd node: Text of 2nd node
    subnode A: Text of subnode A
    subnode B: Text of subnode B
3rd node: Text of 3rd node

Without getting into any scary recursion, how would I modify the loop to print out the subnodes, too?

foreach my $node (@{$data->{node}}) {
    print $node->{name}.": ".$node->{text}."\n";
    if ( ... )  { # detect the existence of a subnode here somehow
        foreach my $subnode (@{$data->{node}{subnode}}) {
            print "\t".$subnode->{name}.": ".$subnode->{text}."\n";
        }
    }
}
