Here is another quick way to skin the cat using mirod's XML::Twig (I threw Symbol in there too).
#!perl -w
use strict;

use XML::Twig;
my $xmlfile = "D:/JUNK/quotelist.xml";
my ($symbol, $lasttradeprice, $netchange, $lasttradedate);
my $twig= new XML::Twig(
                TwigHandlers =>
                  { 'Symbol' => \&get_symbol,
                    'LastTradePrice' => \&get_lasttradeprice,
                    'NetChange' => \&get_netchange,
                    'LastTradeDate ' => \&get_lasttradedate,
                  });

$twig->parsefile($xmlfile);
                  
sub get_symbol {
  my( $twig, $v)= @_;
  $symbol = $v->text('name');
}

sub get_lasttradeprice {
  my( $twig, $v)= @_;
  $lasttradeprice = $v->text('name');
}

sub get_netchange {
  my( $twig, $v)= @_;
  $netchange = $v->text('name');
}

sub get_lasttradedate {
  my( $twig, $v)= @_;
  $lasttradedate = $v->text('name');
  &print_em;
}

sub print_em {
  print "$symbol  $lasttradeprice  $netchange  $lasttradedate\n";
}
