Hello dear Monks, I`m kinda new to perl and xml, but anyway, here is my problem: 1. I have a xml file (url_config.xml) like this: 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<urls>
  <url id="1" link="http://localhost/index.php?page=news&amp;id_news=1
+" name="First Test Name" />
  <url id="2" link="http://localhost/index.php?page=news&amp;id_news=1
+7" name="2-nd test name with 2 as id" />
  <url id="4" link="http://localhost/index.php?page=news&amp;id_news=5
+" name="another cool link" />
</urls>

2. using perl and XML::DOM i want to add a new line to the url_config.xml file, in the end this file should look like this: 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<urls>
  <url id="1" link="http://localhost/index.php?page=news&amp;id_news=1
+" name="First Test Name" />
  <url id="2" link="http://localhost/index.php?page=news&amp;id_news=1
+7" name="2-nd test name with 2 as id" />
  <url id="4" link="http://localhost/index.php?page=news&amp;id_news=5
+" name="another cool link" />
  <url id="5" link="http://localhost/index.php?page=news&amp;id_news=2
+3" name="another cool link added later on" />
</urls>

3. I know how to read the xml file, I know how to parse the file but i don`t know how to insert a new row. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use XML::DOM;

my $parser = new XML::DOM::Parser;
my $doc = $parser->parsefile ("url_config.xml");
my $nodes = $doc->getElementsByTagName( "url" );
my $entries = $nodes->getLength;
my @id_array;


# insert all the id`s in a array:
for (my $i = 0; $i < $entries; $i++)
{
my $node = $nodes->item ($i);
my $href = $node->getAttributeNode ("id");
print $href->getValue . "\n";
push(@id_array, $href->getValue);

}
# last id:
my $last_id = pop(@id_array);
print $last_id;
print "\n";
print "total no. of records::" . $entries . "\n";
