Re^2: Keeping XML structure with XML::Simple

Are you happy that 'config' was replaced by 'opt'? If that is not the desired behaviour, instead write,

my $xml = XMLin(..., KeepRoot => 1);
print XMLout($xml, KeepRoot => 1);
[download]

which would correctly output:

<config ip="127.0.0.1" port="12345">
  <timeout>1000</timeout>
  <timeout>2000</timeout>
</config>

The KeepRoot option tells XML::Simple that your structure already has a root node.

Just want to point out that the <timeout> element did not get fold up into attributes in your example is because there are more than one of them, by default if there is only one <timeout>, it will be folded up into an attribute.	[reply]
