My requirement is to get sellerIdFromProvider and value of each locationValue i.e. sellerIdFromProvider=> 452471 and locationValue => GA, NV, NJ, NY. Using below code I'm able to get values for the first *SellerInformation* tag (Single value so can be accessed via hash) but not for the 2nd one as that has multiple TaxableLocation tags (Would be accessed as an array). So I need to write a code which can deal both the conditions. Also I've to add comma seperated locationValue to another xml file (Which will be compared using sellerIdFromProvider. I think hashes would be used. I hope I'm clear! Please help me out. Thanks CSharma 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumper;
$xml = new XML::Simple;
foreach $d (@{$data->{'SellerInformation'}})    {
print $d->{'Seller'}{'sellerIdFromProvider'} . "\n";
print $d->{'TaxableLocationsCollection'}{'TaxableLocation'}{'locationV
+alue'} . "\n";
}
