Cool. I took a little time to look over my Advance Perl Programming Book (the O'Reilly Panther book). I got it working for the most part. However, it appears that I'm having array errors.

To create a list of hospital staff, my method parse through the staff list and records their first and last name into an array. This array is then reference in a hash, using their role (X-ray Tech, physician, Nurse) as a key.

        foreach $workerbee($doc->getElementsByTagName('CathStaff'))
        {
            
            print "Staff = $s1, $s2\n";
            $s1 = $workerbee->getElementsByTagName('LastName')->item(0
+)->getFirstChild->getNodeValue;
            $s2 = $workerbee->getElementsByTagName('FirstName')->item(
+0)->getFirstChild->getNodeValue; 
            $s3 = $workerbee->getAttribute('Role');
            @staff = ($s1,$s2);
            print "Staff = $s1, $s2\n";
            my $arrayref = \@staff;
            $staff_set{$s3} = $arrayref;
            
            
        
            
        }

Now my main loop is this:

!/usr/bin/perl -w
use XML::DOM;
use CathRecord;
### Create New Object

my $file  = "H:/My Documents/files/mfrTESTa.XML";
my $obj = CathRecord->new();
my $ref = CathRecord::CamPatData($obj,$file);

print"\n";
my $hashref = $ref->{STAFF};

foreach my $inst(keys %$hashref)
{
    my $aih = $$hashref{$inst};
    print "$inst: @$aih\n";

    
}

I get this is a result:

Staff = Joicelan, Rob
Staff = Zdoctor, test
Staff = Zdoctor, test
Staff = Smith, Fred
Staff = Smith, Fred
Staff = Jones, Bill
Staff = Jones, Bill
Staff = Nelson, Jim
Staff = Nelson, Jim
Staff = Fellowlast, Fellowfirst
Staff = Fellowlast, Fellowfirst
Staff = fellowsecond, fred
Staff = fellowsecond, fred
Staff = rusoo123456789012, mike56789012345

So what's up with that?
