Hello again,

Everyone has been so helpful I thought I would ask one last question regarding XML::Twig.

I'm using the following code 

#!/perl/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use XML::Twig;

my $twig= new XML::Twig;

open( XML_OUT, ">output.xml") or die $!;

$twig->parsefile( "RoamAboutAP_173.253.52.82.xml");
my $root= $twig->root; 
my @ds= $root->children;   

foreach my $attr (@ds) { 

    my $look = $attr->parent('rrd')->text;
    print $look;
    
    my $blg= sprintf( "TESTING PLACEMENT");          
    my $eblg= new XML::Twig::Elt( 'Average', $blg); 
    $eblg->paste( 'first_child', $attr);
}

# $twig->set_pretty_print('indented');
$twig->print( \*XML_OUT);

close XML_OUT;

My XML file looks like this:

What I want to do is search for a specidifc tag, say maybe <ds> or the <v> tag.

I am able to sucessfully look at the root tag, but how can I look at the children of the root node in my foreach loop?

I'll continue reading the perldoc
Thanks!
