Do you just want to extract the links which are stored inside the permalink tags? If it is as simple as that I would just use a regex to do it - 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

while(<DATA>) {
    if (/permalink/) {
        s|<permalink>(.*)</permalink>|$1|i;
        print;
    }
}

__DATA__
<permalink> Link A </permalink>
<tempNode> value1 </tempNode>
SomeText
<permalink> Link B </permalink>
<tempNode2> value2 </tempNode2>
<permalink> Link C </permalink>

Output 

 Link A
 Link B
 Link C

If you are looking to parse the XML file cleanly for other purposes then you can check out XML::DOM. I don't have XML::TokeParser on my machine to check out code but XML::DOM should be easy to use. http://search.cpan.org/~tjmather/XML-DOM-1.43/lib/XML/DOM.pm

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! —
