Fellow Monks,

There's probably an easy answer to this, I have an xml file, for example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<?leverage formatversion="1.0"?>

<config servertype="sunhosts" reporttype="patches and levels" >
    <server name="atlas" osname="solaris" osversion="2.8">
        <address>192.168.0.2</address>
        <address>192.168.0.22</address>
        <address>192.168.0.222</address>
        <patchlevel>Generic</patchlevel>
        <perlversion>5.6.1</perlversion>
    </server>
</config>

I want to put the address values into a scalar, the equivalent of say:
$address="192.168.0.2 192.168.0.22 192.168.0.222";
I can pull these out one-at-a-time when I use:
$config->{server}{atlas}{address}->[0];
I thought just using
$config->{server}{atlas}{address}
would give me the result I was looking for, but it just returns a hash reference, I think. Is there an easy option to do this, or will I have to use a foreach loop?

Thanks
Jonathan
