Blackdragoen, you've already been given the advice (in the CB) that you should use XPATH to find such nodes. You've been told that your lack of understanding of XML is the problem. To reiterate, there's no such thing as an 'end tag' in XML. The nodes you're interested in are nodes without children nor attributes.

You should parse the document with XML::Parser and pass the result to XML::XPath with the appropriate query expression. I've already given you a hint for the XPATH expression; *[not(*)] will give you all the nodes without children.

Have you applied this suggestion yet, or researched XPATH as you were advised?
