G'day medirecpr,

You don't show any code where you print $sesxp; however, this looks suspect: 

my $sesxp = XML::XPath->new(otherfilename => $SESXML);
print 'SESXML: ' . $xp . "\n";

Should that print statement contain $sesxp instead of $xp?

Aside: I might just also point out that print takes a list of arguments - there's no need to concatenate the arguments. This would be fine: 

print 'SESXML: ', $xp, "\n";

Or, removing most of the punctuation noise, you could just write: 

print "SESXML: $xp\n";
