Re: XML::Simple and Adding Nested Elements

From the POD for XML::Simple I found this:

Note 1: The default value for 'KeyAttr' is ['name', 'key', 'id']. If you do not want folding on input or unfolding on output you must setting this option to an empty list to disable the feature.

I think that your problem will go away if you add a KeyAttr=>() in the parameter list as in:

my $xs = XML::Simple->new( ForceArray => 1, KeepRoot => 1, NoAttr => 1, KeyAttr => ());

Rule One: Do not act incautiously when confronting a little bald wrinkly smiling man.

That was it! Well, it was actually: `my $xs = XML::Simple->new( ForceArray => 1, KeepRoot => 1, NoAttr => 1 +, KeyAttr => []);` [download] ...with square brackets. I had read this but I figured you wouldn't need to set a key attribute to empty if you set NoAttr => 1. That's what I get for making assumptions! Thanks! Rob	[reply] [d/l]

No, KeyAttr e NoAttr refer to completely different things. It is just a bit confusing... Rule One: Do not act incautiously when confronting a little bald wrinkly smiling man.	[reply]
