Since you didn't provide any input data, it is impossible for anyone to re-create your problem. Thus, I can only offer generic advice.

Firstly, use strict and warnings. Perhaps some of your variables are not scoped properly.

Secondly, sprinkle print statements liberally throughout your code to make sure your variables contain what you expect them to contain. See also Basic debugging checklist.

At the state of the art, I can't change my parsing module
It would be a good idea to have a plan in place to retire XML::Parser in favor of a more user-friendly (in my opinion) and better supported parser, such as XML::Twig.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
