Firstly, your sample XML isn't valid XML as it has no root node so I wouldn't expect it to parse at all. I've changed it to this:

<doc> <para>aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa dsnbbtejk</para> <para>aldmflskddddddddddddddddddffffffffffffff</para> </doc>

Secondly, you seem a little confused about which elements you are looking for. At one point you look for elements called 'doc', but there aren't any elements called that in your sample data.

I think you want something more like this:

use strict; use warnings; use XML::Twig; my $file = 'test.xml'; my $tmp; $tmp = XML::Twig->new(); $tmp->parsefile($file); my $root = $tmp->root; foreach my $product ($root->children('para')){ my $para = $product->first_child_text; print "$para\n"; }
