Essentially this is a trivial use of XML. The data could just as easily have been sent as Field: Value. You could quite easily just interpolate values into a post string to get the required format for the post data and then use LWP::UserAgent to do the POST and accept the REPLY. To parse the sort of trivial reply you have to deal with you could use XML::Simple. If you are certain that the XML will always be well formed you could use a simple RE (but this is not recommended).... 

while(<DATA>){
    next unless m!^\s*<([^>]+)>([^<]+)</(\1)>!;
    $h{$1}=$2;
}
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper \%h;

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
