Hello,
This code:

use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Simple;use Data::Dumper;
my $file = './test.xml';
my %tmp = ( 'A' => [ [1] ]);
XMLout(\%tmp,outputfile=>$file);
%tmp = %{XMLin($file,forcearray=>['A'])};
warn Dumper(\%tmp);

%tmp = ( 'A' => [ [1,2] ]);
XMLout(\%tmp,outputfile=>$file);
%tmp = %{XMLin($file,forcearray=>['A'])};
warn Dumper(\%tmp);
[download]

outputs:

$VAR1 = {
          'A' => [
                   {
                     'anon' => '1'
                   }
                 ]
        };
$VAR1 = {
          'A' => [
                   [
                     '1',
                     '2'
                   ]
                 ]
        };

How do I force the value of key A to be an array of array also in the first case ?
Thank you.
