I have some XML where it has nodes with duplicate tags and attributes. When it loads, the last duplicate value overwrites the previous one(s) in the data structure.

Is there anyway to get this to load 100% into a data structure?

I've tried all the options in XML::Simple. I'd rather not modify the XML to get rid of the duplicate values. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumper;

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

print Dumper XMLin($xml);

__DATA__
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
    <test id="1">
        <first id="white">Mike</first>
    </test>
    <test id="1">
        <last id="black">Gifford</last>
    </test>
</root>

See that the output doesn't have all the data... the last <test id="1"> overwrote the first. 
$VAR1 = {
          'test' => {
                    '1' => {
                           'last' => {
                                     'content' => 'Gifford',
                                     'id' => 'black'
                                   }
                         }
                  }
        };
