I'm not sure why you don't think you can use XML::Simple to parse your XML file, but here is one way to print all ip's for station17, for example: 
use warnings;
use strict;
use XML::Simple;

my $str = '
<servers>
        <station18>
                <ip>10.0.0.101</ip>
                <ip>10.0.1.101</ip>
                <ip>10.0.0.102</ip>
                <ip>10.0.0.103</ip>
                <ip>10.0.1.103</ip>
        </station18>
        <station19>
                <ip>10.0.0.111</ip>
                <ip>10.0.1.111</ip>
                <ip>10.0.0.112</ip>
                <ip>10.0.0.113</ip>
                <ip>10.0.1.113</ip>
        </station19>
        <station17>
                <ip>10.0.0.121</ip>
                <ip>10.0.1.121</ip>
                <ip>10.0.0.122</ip>
                <ip>10.0.0.123</ip>
                <ip>10.0.1.123</ip>
        </station17>
</servers>
';

my $xml = XMLin($str);
print "$_\n" for @{ $xml->{station17}{ip} };

__END__

10.0.0.121
10.0.1.121
10.0.0.122
10.0.0.123
10.0.1.123
