Hi, I need to dynamically generate an XML structure. With this code..

use strict;
use warnings;

use XML::Simple;

BEGIN {
    @__PACKAGE__::XML::ISA = qw/ XML::Simple /;
    my %order = (
        TestResult => [
            qw/xmlns xmlns:xsi xsi:schemaLocation Result Comments Para
+meters Files Images
        /],
    );

    *__PACKAGE__::XML::sorted_keys = sub {
        my ( $self, $name, $h ) = @_;
        return @{ $order{$name} } if $order{$name};
        sort keys %$h;
    };
}

sub new {
    my ($class) = @_;
    my $self = {
        _xml => {
            "xmlns"              => "Someinfo",
            "xmlns:xsi"          => "Someinfo",
            "xsi:schemaLocation" => "Someinfo",
        },
    };
    bless $self => $class;
}

sub comments {
    my ( $self, $comments ) = @_;
    $self->{_xml}{Comments} = { content => $comments };
}

sub result {
    my ( $self, $result ) = @_;
    $self->{_xml}{Result} = { content => $result };
}

sub image {
    my ( $self, $image, $desc ) = @_;
    my $imageid = "Image" . $image;
    $self->{_xml}{Images}{$imageid} = { content => $desc };
}


sub file {
    my ( $self, $file, $desc ) = @_;
    my $fileid = "File" . $file;
    $self->{_xml}{Files}{$fileid} = { content => $desc };
}



sub parameter {
    my ( $self, $group, $key, $value ) = @_;
    my $groupid = "Group".$group;
    my $keyid   =  "Key".$key;
    $self->{_xml}{Parameters}{Parameter}{$groupid}{Parameter}{$keyid} 
+= { content => $value };
}

 
 sub as_xml {
    
    my ($self) = @_;
    my $file_name = "output.xml";
    my $serialize = __PACKAGE__::XML->new;
    my @arrayout= $serialize->XMLout(
        $self->{_xml},
        GroupTags => {
            
            Files         => "File",
            Images         => "Image",
            Parameters     => "ParameterGroup",
            ParameterGroup => "Parameter"
        
        },
        KeyAttr => {
            
            ParameterGroup     => "+ID",
            Parameter          => "+key",
            File            => "+key",
            Image           => "+key",
            
        },

        RootName => "TestResult",
        XMLDecl  => 1,
    );

foreach ( @arrayout ) {
    open FH, ">>$file_name" or die "can't open '$file_name': $!";
    print FH $_;
    close FH;
}

Using this below script,

my $tr = Reporting->new;

$tr->parameter(1, 1, "Some Process A Happened");
$tr->parameter(1, 2, "Some Process B Happened");
$tr->parameter(2, 1, "Some Process A Happened");
$tr->parameter(3, 1, "Some Process Happened");
$tr->image(1, "Some info");
$tr->parameter(6, 1, "Some Process Z Happened");
$tr->file(10, "Some File");
$tr->result("Pass");
$tr->comments("Executed Successfully");
print $tr->as_xml;

I was able to get this something like

<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>
<TestResult xmlns="some info" xmlns:xsi="some info" xsi:schemaLocation
+="some info">
  <Result>Pass</Result>
  <Comments>Executed Successfully</Comments>
  <Parameters>
    <ParameterGroup ID="Parameter">
      <Parameter key="Group1">
        <Parameter key="1">Some Process A Happened</Parameter>
        <Parameter key="2">Some Process B Happened</Parameter>
      </Parameter>
      <Parameter key="Group2">
        <Parameter key="1">Some Process A Happened</Parameter>
      </Parameter>
      <Parameter key="Group3">
        <Parameter key="1">Some Process Happened</Parameter>
      </Parameter>
      <Parameter key="Group6">
        <Parameter key="1">Some Process Z Happened</Parameter>
      </Parameter>
    </ParameterGroup>
  </Parameters>
  <Files>
    <File key="File10">Some File</File>
  </Files>
  <Images>
    <Image key="Image1">Some info</Image>
  </Images>
</TestResult>

But I need the parameters part of the XML to look like this,

<Parameters>
<ParameterGroup ID="Group1">
  <Parameter key="Key1">Some Value</Parameter> 
  <Parameter key="Key2">Some Value</Parameter> 
  <Parameter key="Key3">Some Value</Parameter> 
  </ParameterGroup>
<ParameterGroup ID="Group2">
  <Parameter key="Key1">Some Value</Parameter> 
  <Parameter key="Key2">Some Value</Parameter> 
  <Parameter key="Key3">Some Value</Parameter> 
  </ParameterGroup>
  </Parameters>

Where is it going wrong? Thanks..
