I went through the XML::Simple documentation but I didn't find anything suitable. The 'KeyAttr' option does actually create the wanted hash structure but only for one A and one B class div because the class isn't a key attribute here.

Could anyone with more XP with XML::Simple point me out the right option(s). Also maybe an other XML module must be used for that.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if it's really simple and I just oversaw it.

My simple test script so far is:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Simple;

my $filename = shift or die "Usage: decode <filename>\n";
my $xmlin;

open ($xmlin, '<', $filename) or die "Error: Can't open input file!\n"
+;

my $ref = XMLin( $xmlin,
    # TODO: Add correct option
);

use Data::Dumper;

print Dumper $ref;

The hash structure I want:

$VAR1 = {
          'div' => {
                     'A' => [
                              { .. },
                              { .. },
                              { .. },
                            ],
                     'B' => [
                              { .. },
                              { .. },
                              { .. },
                            ]
                   }
        };
