Hi all, I am using XML::Simple (can't use updated modules like XML::LibXML at this point) to read in a xml and get the values in variables to compare. The following element is giving me hard time though: 
$VAR1 = {
    'cmts' => {
        'STBDSG' => {
            'dsg' => [
                     {
                       'tag1' => '1',
                       'tag2' => 'caSystemId',
                     },
                     {
                       'tag1' => '2',
                       'tag2' => 'gaSystemId',
                     }
                     ]
                 },

I am trying to read values of tag1 and tag2 in distinct variables and have tried few options one of which is: 
my $dsg_tags = $xst->{cmts}->{STBDSG}->{dsg};
for my $dsg (@$dsg_tags) {
    print "Value of tag1 :";
    print $dsg->{tag1}, "\n";
    print "Value of tag2 :";
    print $dsg->{tag2}, "\n";
}

There are no compilation errors but nothing is printed when I run the script even though tag1, tag2 have values after xml is parsed. I am parsing xml using: 
my $xst;        

if((not defined $xml) or ($xml =~ m/read\stimeout/i)){
    &printXMLErr('request timed out');
} else {
    my $xs = XML::Simple->new();
    $xst = eval { $xs->XMLin($xml,KeyAttr=>1) };
    &printXMLErr($@) if($@);
}

Can you please help me if I am missing something here and suggest me how to correct it. I am also trying to find from net and CPAN documentation. Thanks in advance!
