Thanks graff. Appreciate your help with the code.

I am new to Perl and programming as a whole. Parsing XML with the modules available, is the obvious answer to my question. And I also did the same (just using XML::Simple) before using a regex approach.

Regex may be the most outdated way to do this task, but for some beginners - Perl regex can be a nightmare (at least for me). So practicing more problems using regex, might help me to use these modules even better.

About the "requirement" --- ITS NOT. Whenever I searched for something to parse XML in Perl, I always ended up with these modules and tutorials for the same. It might sound cliche, but that's what it is. There is no "homework assignment" and no one is "forcing" me to something. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumper;

$xml = new XML::Simple(KeyAttr=>[]);
$data = $xml -> XMLin("INFO.xml");
#print Dumper($data);

#print "XML read in\n";

foreach $e(@{$data->{t_volume}})
{    
    print $e->{info_name},"\n";
    print "It Size: ", $e->{it_size}, "\n";
    print "\n";
}
