Hello, I need some help with XML::Parser, i have this code i been working on, i got it to work. but what i need is to pull all element data from <item> how can i pass them all into a hash? for example have the first <item> element title in the hash and the next one and so on..
$data->{channel}->{item}->[0]->{title}; $data->{channel}->{item}->[1]->{title}; $data->{channel}->{item}->[2]->{title}; $data->{channel}->{item}->[3]->{title};
anybody....?
#!/usr/bin/perl # import packages use XML::Simple; use LWP::Simple; # initialize object # get RSS data $raw = get('http://movies.go.com/xml/rss/intheaters.xml'); # create object $xml = new XML::Simple; $data = $xml->XMLin($raw); $title = $data->{channel}->{item}->[0]->{title}; $link = $data->{channel}->{item}->[0]->{link}; $description = $data->{channel}->{item}->[0]->{description}; print "Title: $title\n"; print "Link: $link\n\n"; print "Description: $description\n";
