hello friends. i just started using perl and right now i was working on extracting elements from one of the xml file i have. Below the xml dump which is created 
$VAR1 = {
          'soap' => {
                    'Response1' => {
                                   'response2' => {
                                                  'response3' => [
                                                                      
+           {
                                                                      
+             'tag1' => 'value1',
                                                                      
+             'tag2' => 'value2',
                                                                      
+             'tag3' => 'value3',
                                                                      
+             },

I want to extract "VALUE1" which is associated with the the first tag1. i write the following code, but it does not help. i tried searching for posts. may be i am a new comer and not able to understand this 

use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumper;
$xml = new XML::Simple(KeyAttr=>('response3'),ForceArray=>('response3'
+));
$data = $xml->XMLin("c:\\b.xml") or die $_;
print Dumper($data);
print"\nStartPrinting First Statement";
