Hello,

Here s my problem (which I can't solve since a long long tiiiime), I can live with it but I was wondering if it could be solved :)

1/ I have a perl script reading a XML file : 
<conf name="snoopdogg" serial="1" target="172.16.1.3">
 <services>
  <service name="cpu">
   <plugins>
    <plugin name="cpu" target="172.16.1.3" schedule="60">
     <probes>
      <probe name="load1">
       <warn value="4" operator="&gt;"/>
       <crit value="10" operator="&gt;"/>
     </probe>
(...)

2/ I read it this way : 
my $configuration = $xml->XMLin(
             $conf,
             GroupTags => { services => 'service',
                            plugins => 'plugin',
                            probes => 'probe'
                          },
             ForceArray => [ qw(service plugin probe) ],
             KeyAttr => { 'service' => 'name',
                          'plugin' => 'name',
                          'probe' => 'name'
                        },
             KeepRoot => 0
);

The problem is the following : I want to access a probe's warn value, to do so I have to : 
my $warn = $configuration->{snoopdogg}{services}{cpu}{plugins}{cpu}{pr
+obes}{load1}{warn}{value};

[download]
What I would like is to access the value this way : 
my $warn = $configuration->{snoopdogg}{cpu}{cpu}{load1}{warn}{value};

Is there a way with XML::Simple to achieve something like 
GroupTags => { services => 'service' => name }

Thank you very much ! :)
