in reply to XML::Simple parse attributes

From your example xml structure, it looks like the tc elements live in a hash keyed with their 'id' value:
my $tc = $xml->{dut}->[0]->{tc}; foreach my $id (keys %$tc) { if ($tc->{$id}->{result} eq 'Passed'){$Passed++;} if ($tc->{$id}->{result} eq 'Warnings'){$Warnings++;} if ($tc->{$id}->{result} eq 'Failed'){$Failed++;} }

Dumping the $xml object with e.g. Data::Dumper helps in such a case.
