hi all, Below is the xml I want to parse with XPath, however, I met some problems with both XML::XPath and XML::LibXML;

Here is the XML::XPath code: 

my $xml = XML::XPath->new( xml => $string); 
my $nodeset = $xml->findnodes('//entry'); 
foreach my $node ( $nodeset->get_nodelist){ 
print $node->findvalue('//title'),"\n"; 
}

[download]
I got
friendsEngowo
friendsEngowo
which are all the title nodes of this xml, it seems like each $node has all the information of this XML. Dose any one knows what the problem is?

Then I try to use XML::LibXML instead, here is the code 

my $xml = XML::LibXML->new->parse_string( $string); 
my @nodeset = $xml->find('//entry'); 
print Dumper @nodeset;

[download]
I got
$VAR1 = bless( [], 'XML::LibXML::NodeList' );
which means I got nothing, entry nodes for this xml are not found. Then some guy told me I have to register the namespace for this xml. so I used this code:

my $node = XML::LibXML->new->parse_string($string);
my $xml = XML::LibXML::XPathContext->new( $node);
$xml->registerNs('atom','http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom');
my @nodeset = $xml->findnodes('//atom:entry');
print $xml->findvalue('//atom:id',$nodeset[0]);

[download]
and it returned:
http://api.douban.com/people/1010394http://api.douban.com/people/1276180

which have both two ID tags for the first entry node. It really drives me crazy. Can anybody help me?
