Dear Monks, I have a large XML file, this way the access is very very very slow. How can I speed up the process while using XMLPATH module? please not that some of my "a" elements does not have "wn" attribute, so this was the obly way I could think of ... Thansk. 
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::XPath;

my $file = $ARGV[0];
my $xp = XML::XPath->new(filename=>$file);
for my $n (1 .. 32812) {

my $wnposnodeset = $xp->find('/e/p//w[@id='.$n.']/a[@name="wn"]');
my @wns;
if (my @wnnodelist = $wnnodeset->get_nodelist) {
@wns = map($_->string_value, @wnnodelist);}

my $lnodeset = $xp->find('/e/p//w[@id='.$n.']/a[@name="l"]');
my @ls;
if (my @lnodelist = $lnodeset->get_nodelist) {
@ls = map($_->string_value, @lnodelist);}

print "@ls#@wns\n";
}
