There is far too much data there for me to be bothered with. How about you generate a small sample script that includes embedded xml data and generates sample output that demonstrates the issue you are having? That has a few advantages:

  1. we don't have to wade through a mass of text to try and understand your problem
  2. you can focus attention on the real issue you are having
  3. you have a simple test bed for trying different techniques
  4. you have a simple way to see is different solutions work
  5. we don't have to whittle your sample data down to something manageable
  6. through seeing your code we can assess your Perl fu and tailor answers and code to suit
True laziness is hard work
