Using XML::Parser (basic mode, no style):

#!/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use XML::Parser;


my @email;
my @name;
my $stored_content = ''; # global used to store text

sub start {
  my( $expat, $gi, %atts ) = @_;
  $stored_content=''; # reset
}

sub char {
  my( $expat, $string ) = @_;
  $stored_content .= $string; # accumulate
}

sub end {
  my( $expat, $gi ) = @_;
  # now we can do some "real" processing with the element content
  push @name,  $stored_content if( $gi eq 'name'); 
  push @email, $stored_content if( $gi eq 'email'); 
  $stored_content = ''; # reset
} 

# create the parser
my $parser = new XML::Parser(
  Handlers => {
    Start => \&start, # called for each start tag
    Char  => \&char,  # called for all text (including \n between tags
+)
    End   => \&end    # called for each end tag
  }
);


my $xml = <<EOF;
<xml>
 <email>toto@foo.com</email><name>Toto</name>
 <email>tata@bar.com</email><name>Tata</name>
 <email>tutu@baz.com</email><name>Tutu</name>
</xml>
EOF


$parser->parse( $xml );

print "email: @email\n";
print "name: @name\n";
