I have a hash representing an XML structure, where a part of it basically looks like this (I've simplified it a bit): 

...
arr => {
  elem => [
    {
      mod => 'mstring1',
      rp  => 'rstring1',
      subarr => {
        subelem => [
          {...}, {...}, ...
        ]
      }
    },
    {
      mod => 'mstring2',
      rp  => 'rstring2',
      subarr => {
        subelem => [
          {...}, {...}, ...
        ]
      }
    },
}
...

This structure has been processed by XMLin, using the option forcearray => [ qw(arr subarr) ]. Currently, I'm writing out this structure without any options. XMLout produces the following structure on output: 
...
<arr>
  <elem mod="mstring1" rp="rstring1">
    <subarr>
      <subelem>...</subelem>
      <subelem>...</subelem>
    </subarr>
  </elem>
  <elem mod="mstring2" rp="rstring2">
    <subarr>
      <subelem>...</subelem>
      <subelem>...</subelem>
    </subarr>
  </elem>
  ...
</arr>
...

In particular, mod and rp become attributes. Now my question: Is it possible to configure XMLout in a way, so that rp is turned in an attribute, but mod is turned into a element, i.e. 
...
<arr>
  <elem rp="rstring1">
    <mod>mstring1</mod>
    <subarr>
      <subelem>...</subelem>
      <subelem>...</subelem>
    </subarr>
  </elem>
  <elem rp="rstring2">
    <mod>mstring2</mod>
    <subarr>
      <subelem>...</subelem>
      <subelem>...</subelem>
    </subarr>
  </elem>
  ...
</arr>
...

Can this be done with XMLout, or is XML::Simple too, eh, simple for this task?
