Hi there! I am trying to writing a List of Hashes out as XML via XML:Simple. Ok. But when I try to read it in again, it fails! Repeated child elements do not give a list of hashes... Checking the data-structure via Data::Dumper shows everything is fine:

$VAR1 = {
          'node' => [
                       {
                         'key1' => 'value1',
                         'key2' => 'value2',
                       },
                       {
                         'key1' => 'value3',
                         'key2' => 'value4',
                       },
                     ],     
};

XML:Simple::XMLout with option "noattr => 1" renders:

<root>
  <node>
    <key1>value1</key1>
    <key2>value2</key2>
  </node>
  <node>
    <key1>value3</key1>
    <key2>value4</key2>
  </node>
</root>

BUT: When I do XML:Simple::XMLin with option "suppressempty => undef" Data:Dumper shows this:

$VAR1 = {
          'node' => {
                       'value1' => {
                                        'key2' => 'value2',
                                                 },
                       'value3' => {
                                        'key4' => 'value4',
                                                 },
                    },
};

WHY? And how can I get XML:Simple to properly slurp back in my LoH data-structure??
