in reply to Managing data after XML::Simple...count elements
my $perl = XMLin($xml);
Calling XMLin() without specifying any options is often a bug waiting to happen, see this node.
Also, when looking for meaningful variable names, it might help to bear in mind that XMLin will throw away the top-level XML element name by default - why not use that:
my $NewDataSet = XMLin($xml, KeyAttr => [], ForceArray => ['Table']) +;
Then when you index into the data, the Perl symbols and the XML element names correspond naturally:
my $table = $NewDataSet->{Table}; my $table_count = @$table;
