Hiya.
I have a XMLTV file that I want to parse to import some info into a mysql database. I had someone help me with the basics, but I am still running into problems.
Original file - http://paste.ubuntu.com/11109433/ (Large File!)
from this file I want to strip some of the nonsense so I can get an output of 
UPDATE channel SET channum="101",xmltvid="9601.dvb.guide" WHERE callsi
+gn="RTE One");

[download]
I have this so far. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use v5.14;
use warnings;

until(eof()) {
    my ($id, $chan) = <> =~ /id="([^"]*)".*number="(\d+)"/;
    my ($sign) = <> =~ />(.*)</;
    <>; # Skip </channel>

    say qq(UPDATE channel SET channum="$chan",xmltvid="$id" WHERE call
+sign="$sign");
}

[download]
but when I run it, it never ends it just seems to hang. If I press enter I get some uninitialized warnings (obviously I can stop these with no warnings 'uninitialized'; ) but it seems to get to this line and then stop. 
channel id="9001.dvb.guide" <!-- number="65535" type="0x95" flags="0xf
+fff" bouquet="4109" region="0" sid="9001" -->>
    <display-name>[65535.9001.(null)]</display-name>

Any pointers as to where I am going wrong would be great.
Thanks in advance.
