Hi Monks!
I am trying to get the value inside of the node "<Rule" but only if the atribute action is equal to "Required", I cant get it to work, any ideas how I could have this done using XML::XPath?
Thanks for the help! 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my $a = do {local $/; <DATA>};

use XML::XPath;
use XML::XPath::XMLParser;
    
    my $xp = XML::XPath->new(xml => $a);
    
     foreach my $cid ($xp->findnodes('/PartyA/com.Info')) 
      { 
        my $code = $cid->find('Rule/@action')->string_value;
        
        print "\n$code\n";        

      }


__DATA__

                    <Real/>
