XML::Parser Question

ruhk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello fellow monks! Im trying to parse an Atom feed using XML::Parser to just get at the <entries> however I cant figure it out, and the documentation doesnt help me. So far I have

my $p1 = new XML::Parser(Style => 'Tree');
my $tree = $p1->parse($content);
[download]

The problem is $tree is in some kind of really complicated data sctructure that I have no idea how to use. Can anyone throw me some help?

Have a look at XML::Simple. It'll give you back a less complicated structure.	[reply]

Try XML::Parser in 'subs' mode. (i.e) Style=>'Subs' Then use a subroutine named 'entries' which will automatically called whenever 'entries' start tag event occurs. `my $p1 = new XML::Parser(Style => 'Subs'); my $tree = $p1->parse($content); #####called when entries start tag occurs sub entries{ #########what ever u need############ } ######### called when entries end tag occurs sub entries_{ }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
