Okay, last XML::Simple question for a while, I promise.
I am messing around with nested containers and I am not sure how to call a container that doesnt have a "key" assigned.

<global>
  <snmp>
    <version>2c</version>
    <community>public</community>
    <retries>2</retries>
  </snmp>
  <node id="10.6.21.1"/>
  <node id="10.6.21.2"/>
</global>

With the above xml info, I wanted to do something like

my $i = XMLin("filename",forcearray => 1);
print "$i->{snmp}->{version}\n";

This doesn't work, and actually causes the processor to spiral upward until the process is killed. I am sure that I could do something like

<snmp version="2c">
  <retries>2</retries>
  <community>public</community>
</snmp>

But I really prefer the nested approach. I'm not sure how to approach this one. Is what I am trying to do feasible?

thanks -c
