Re^2: XML::Simple - repeated child elements does not give list of hashes

You are right, and I already tried it:
"forcearray => 1" does an unwanted "all"
"forcearray => [ 'node' ]" does nothing, just ignored - can somebody explain to me why? Is my data structure wrong?? As test:
"forcearray => [ 'key1' ]" works and outputs "key1" as a one-item array...

I am running XML::Simple v2.03 (can't upgrade)

Most things in perl are case sensitive. So: use `'ForceArray'`, not `'forcearray'`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I know! Actually I found out that with my version 2.03 of XML::Simple only "forcearray" works, as it is case-sensitive to lc! ;-) But I just solved the problem myself. A missing keyattr (in lower case btw) was it. Using XMLin() with `"forcearray => 'node', keyattr => 'node'` did the trick! Anyway, big thanks to the monks of perl. May this thread grow the wisdom in the monastery...	[reply] [d/l]
