Below is a XML file

<?xml version='1.0'?>
        <employee>
          <name>Pradeep</name>
          <age>23</age>
          <sex>M</sex>
          <department>Coder</department>
        </employee>

And the perl code is 

use XML::Simple;
     use Data::Dumper;
     $xml=new XML::Simple;
     $data=$xml->XMLin("data.xml");
     print Dumper($data);

Now how do you parse if the XML file is

 <?xml version='1.0'?>
          <employee="risc_31>
           <name>John Doe</name>
           <age>43</age>
           <sex>M</sex>
           <department>Analyst</department>
          </employee>
          <employee="risc_32>
           <name>Pradeep</name>
           <age>23</age>
           <sex>M</sex>
           <department>HR</department>
          </employee>
