I am trying to extract the attribute value of name but not sure what/how I am suppose to do so...can't find an actual real example.
Can someone help point me in the right direction?
Many Thanks..
file.xml 
<HOSTNAME name='apple'>
<PATROL>
<ACL>
<USERNAME name='ml3007'>
<HOST>*</HOST>
<PERMISSION>COPS</PERMISSION>
</USERNAME>
</ACL>
</PATROL>
</HOSTNAME>

use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::LibXML;

  my $filename = $ARGV[0];

  my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();
  my $doc    = $parser->parse_file($filename);
  my $xc = XML::LibXML::XPathContext->new( $doc->documentElement()  );


  foreach my $sections ($xc->findnodes('/HOSTNAME/PATROL/ACL/USERNAME'
+)) {
    my($username) = $sections->getAttribute('name');
    my($permissions) = $sections->findnodes('./PERMISSION');
    my($host) = $sections->findnodes('./HOST');
    print $username->to_literal, "\n";
    print $permissions->to_literal, "\n";
    print $host->to_literal, "\n";
