in reply to Parse with XML::Simple: how to keep some tags "unparsed"?

if i understand you correctly you don't want to parse the <content>-tags because you want to save time.
then it would probably be better to use XML::Parser.
also have a look at http://perl-xml.sourceforge.net/ for FAQ and examples.

    No, it is not a matter of time. I need to keep all XHTML contents of <content> tags in a single place, and do not parse it into perl data structures.

      If you are embedding data that has >'s and <'s, then you prolly wanna use the CDATA directive/option/thing within your xml to denote, "this is data of the XML document, not part of the XML structure".

      If that's beyond your control, you can always create a SAX parser that does just what you want.

      Or you can write some XSLT that transforms the content nested data into what I described above.

        Show the XSLT - you know what happens if you don't ;-): 

        <?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                   version='1.0'>
                   <xsl:output cdata-section-elements="content"/>
      <xsl:template match="/">
         <page>
            <xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of select="page/@id" /
+>
            </xsl:attribute>
               <content>
                  <xsl:apply-templates />
               </content>
            </page>
      </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
