If you looked at the documentation onXML::Simple, you probably saw that this module is deprecated:
You really don't want to use this module in new code.
And:
The use of this module in new code is discouraged. Other modules are available which provide more straightforward and consistent interfaces. In particular, XML::LibXML is highly recommended and XML::Twig is an excellent alternative.
And:
The major problems with this module are the large number of options (some of which have unfortunate defaults) and the arbitrary ways in which these options interact - often producing unexpected results.
If you search this forum, you'll find a number of posts explaining why you should not use this module (at least not for new code).
