Hi I'm trying to get some records of a xml file(s). The point of my code is to get all the node values printed out. As long as there arent multiple "twin" nodes its going good. I have the node <BaseItemDetails> that can appear multiple times on one record. Xml looks like this : 
<Invoice>

<InvoiceHeader>
<InvoiceType></InvoiceType>
<InvoiceStatus></InvoiceStatus>
<InvoiceNumber></InvoiceNumber>
<InvoiceDate></InvoiceDate>
<Supplier>
<Name> </Name>
<OrgNumber></OrgNumber>
<VatId></VatId>
</Supplier>
</InvoiceHeader>

<InvoiceDetails>
<BaseItemDetails>
<Description></Description>
<PerQuantity></PerQuantity>
<QuantityInvoiced></QuantityInvoiced>
<UnitOfMeasure></UnitOfMeasure>
<LineItemGrossAmount></LineItemGrossAmount>
<LineItemAmount></LineItemAmount>
<SuppliersProductId></SuppliersProductId>
<UnitPrice></UnitPrice>
<StartDate></StartDate>
<EndDate></EndDate>
</BaseItemDetails>

<BaseItemDetails>
-------------------
--------------------
-----------------
</BaseItemDetails>

</InvoiceDetails>


</Invoice>

So far I have this code wich I want to change to make this work. : 
foreach my $row ($xp->findnodes('Invoice')){

my       $description= $row->find('InvoiceDetails/BaseItemDetails/Desc
+ription')->string_value;
-----------
-----------
print "$description ";
}

How can i extract the <BaseItemDetails> for each record ? I Have no problem getting the data I need until I reach the multiple "simular" records. I can get the first "record" but clueless on how to get the next. Iv also managed to get all the <baseItemsDetails> printed out, but then i have no way of knowing wich record they belong to from the start. Wich is a big point. Whats the proper way to do this ? Do i need something different the xpath ? I`m pretty new to perl, so really any tips/advice is appriciated.
