Re^4: trying to understand xml::twig and also trying to learn how to extract attribute

Your problem is that "monthly" is not a child of root ("config"); it is a child of "traffic". I think you want this:

my @ids;
my $t = XML::Twig->new();
$t->parse($xmlStr);
for my $one ($t->root()->children('one')) {
    if ($one->first_child('traffic')->first_child('monthly')->att('val
+ue') eq 'on') {
        push @ids, $one->att('id') 
    }
}
print Dumper(\@ids);

__END__

$VAR1 = [
          'movies',
          'espn'
        ];

can I just specify first_child of any element within the root? first_child ($optional_condition) Return the first child of the element, or the first child matching the $optional_condition for e.g., given below xml, in order to get to <getthis value="found" />, do I always have to go `if ($one->first_child('traffic')->first_child('something')->fir +st_child('somethingelse')->first_child('getthis')->att('value') eq 'f +ound') { push @ids, $one->att('id'); push @ids, $one->true('yes'); }` [download] OR can I just pick the element like `if ($one->first_child('getthis')->att('value') eq 'found') { push @ids, $one->att('id'); push @ids, $one->true('yes'); }` [download] Another words, is first_child definition the child of the root?(in this case , 'one' and then 'traffic' and then so on.. and therefore need to go down the chain in steps or can I say my parent is one and then first child is 'getthis' ? `<one id="msn" type="shopping"> <traffic> <daily value="on" /> <weekly value="off" /> <something> <somethingelse> <getthis value="found" true="yes" /> <somethingelse> </something> <monthly value="off" /> </traffic> </one>` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
