Hi,
I am trying to find out how can I read a value between the start and end tags in an XML file in perl.
If I have <Hotel ID = "123" name = "Marriott"></Hotel>
I can read this using 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use XML::Parser;

$parser = new XML::Parser(Style => 'Stream');
$parser->parsefile('abc.xml');

print "$Hotel_id\n", "$Hotel_name\n";

sub StartTag {
    my $Handler = shift(@_);
    my $Name = shift(@_);
    my %Attr = %_;
if($Name eq 'Hotel') {
        $Hotel_id = $Attr{'id'};
        $Hotel_name = $Attr{'name'};
    }
sub Text  {
       $TheText = $_ ;
      }
sub EndTag
    {
     if($Name eq 'Hotel'){
exit(0) };

But if I have
<Hotel>Marriott</Hotel>
I am not sure how to read "Marriott" in perl. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks a lot.
Zeelani.
