Ok, so taking a stab at XML::Rules and the first thing I find in my XML is a namespace tag prefixed on all of my data elements. 

<ns2:Height Units="inches">1.00</ns2:Height>
<ns2:Length Units="inches">1.00</ns2:Length>
<ns2:Width Units="inches">1.00</ns2:Width>
<ns2:Weight Units="pounds">0.01</ns2:Weight>

In my rules, do I refer to this tag as "ns2:Height" or as "Height" somehow accounting for the namespace?

Update:

And do I need to deal with every tag in the XML? For example, if my XML is: 

<ns2:Item>
  <ns2:Attributes>
    <ns2:Height Units="inches">1.00</ns2:Height>
    <ns2:Length Units="inches">1.00</ns2:Length>
    <ns2:Width Units="inches">1.00</ns2:Width>
    <ns2:Weight Units="pounds">0.01</ns2:Weight>
  </ns2:Attributes>
</ns2:Item>

Can I have rules that just deal with Height, Length, Width, Weight, etc? Or do I have to have rules for Item and Attributes to get to the other attributes? I am unclear from reading the XML::Rules documentation. The example has a _default tag which looks like it is supposed to deal with all items not otherwise specified but so far, I am only getting Item in my output as: 

0  HASH(0x36a9310)
   'Item' => undef

The rules that I am using are: 

my @rules_prod = (
    _default => sub { $_[0] => $_[1]->{_content}},
    'ns2:Weight' => sub { weight => $_[1]->{_content} },
    'ns2:Height' => sub { height => $_[1]->{_content} },
);
