Hello,

I'm studying more about XML::Twig. It can parse hash into XML easily .. However, I have question whether there's the same way to parse the data from hash to XML if some values are attribute.

Now I use this method:

  1. hash only the node that has no attribute
  2. manually create new node and set attribute then paste to the parent one by one
This is my current coding: 
use XML::Twig;

my %links = (
            section => "Computer",
            title => "PerlMonks",
            );
$id = "B0001";
$url = "http://www.perlmonks.org";
$target = "_blank";
my $clink = XML::Twig::Elt->new(
            record => map {
                XML::Twig::Elt->new( $_ => $links{$_})
            }
            sort keys %links)
            ->set_att("id",$id);
my $curl = XML::Twig::Elt->new(url => $url)
        ->set_att("target",$target);
$curl->paste('last_child',$clink);
my $twig = XML::Twig->new(pretty_print => 'indented');
$twig->set_root(
                XML::Twig::Elt->new(data => $clink)
                );
$twig->print;

This is the output: 
<data>
  <record id="B0001">
    <section>Computer</section>
    <title>PerlMonks</title>
    <url target="_blank">http://www.perlmonks.org</url>
  </record>
</data>

Thank you in advance for all help.
