I'm trying to learn how to manipulate XML using Perl. I got this code off a website, but it isn't working. 
use strict;
use XML::Simple;

my $file = 'files/camelids.xml';
my $xs1 = XML::Simple->new();

my $doc = $xs1->XMLin($file);

foreach my $key (keys (%{$doc->{species}})){
   print $doc->{species}->{$key}->{'common-name'} . ' (' . $key . ') '
+;
   print $doc->{species}->{$key}->{conservation}->{status} . "\n";
}

This is the file it's accessing... 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<camelids>
  <species name="Camelus bactrianus">
    <common-name>Bactrian Camel</common-name>
    <physical-characteristics>
      <mass>450 to 500 kg.</mass>
      <appearance>
        The most noticeable ...
      </appearance>
    </physical-characteristics>
    <natural-history>
       <food-habits>

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with it, or give me some kind of guidance on how to manipulate XML in Perl.

Sorry, by not working, I meant that it's totally and completely not working. I'm getting a "500 Internal Server Error" error.
