It would be really useful to see some of your code to see how you are approaching this problem, particularly as I believe this could be a very, very easy problem to fix. In the section of your code where you are printing node content, you can restrict the node content printed to only that of terminal nodes by including a conditional similar to the following:

print $node->trimmed_text, "\n" unless $node->children_count;

This code employs the children_count method of the element object, which returns a the number of child nodes of the given node, as the conditional for output. See the XML::Twig documentation for further information.

 

perl -le 'print+unpack("N",pack("B32","00000000000000000000001001010101"))'
