Hello, merry xmas (in a politically incorrect way to all you other religion types)

Im trying still !!! to get an XML document parsed. I have used XML::Parser, and left it as default SAX as i dont want ot edit the document, only read it. My code is very simple, but i get some random results i was not expecting. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Parser;

my $xml;
my $results;
 
$xml = new XML::Parser(Style => 'Debug');
$xml->parsefile('info.xml');

$xml->parse('<attribute Name="Column_Type" >F635 Median</attribute>');

this gives the following output: 

  \\ ()
entries || #10;
entries || #9;#9;
entries \\ (ID 10 Name Array_1_Measurement Column Metadata)
entries enumeration || #10;
entries enumeration || #9;#9;#9;

entries enumeration attribute || F635 Median

I was just expecting to get back either F635 Median or all the info relating to that node.

The xml doc contains: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<entries>
        <enumeration ID="10" Name="Array_1_Measurement Column Metadata
+" >
            <attribute Name="Column_Type" >F635 Median</attribute>
            <attribute Name="Data_Type" >INTEGER</attribute>
            <attribute Name="Origin" >Feature</attribute>
            <attribute Name="Quantitation_Type" >MeasuredSignal</attri
+bute>
            <attribute Name="Scale" >LINEAR</attribute>
            <attribute Name="LabelledExtract" >-</attribute></enumerat

        <enumeration ID="1" Name="Array_1_Measurement Data" >
            <attribute Name="Gene" >AAC1</attribute>

Can any body tell me if this is whats supposed to happen or am i not defining the nodes in the perl script properly.

Any help would be great.
