If you want to print all the info from the XML, than a better approach is to use the 'simplify' method of XML::Twig (or XML::Simple) to create a Perl data structure.

use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Twig;
use Data::Dumper;

my $twig = new XML::Twig();

my $config = $twig->parsefile('invoice2.xml')->simplify();

print Dumper( $config);

With XML::XPath I see only a more tedious way (it's true that I don't have much experience with it.)

Also I changed the xml a little:

<Invoices>
  <Invoice>
    <InvoiceHeader>
      <InvoiceType>IT1</InvoiceType>
      <Supplier>
        <Name>Sup1</Name>
        <OrgNumber>Org1</OrgNumber>
      </Supplier>
    </InvoiceHeader>
    <InvoiceDetails>
      <BaseItemDetails>
        <Description>description11</Description>
        <PerQuantity></PerQuantity>
      </BaseItemDetails>
    <BaseItemDetails>
      <Description>description12</Description>
      <PerQuantity>101</PerQuantity>
    </BaseItemDetails>
    </InvoiceDetails>
  </Invoice>
  <Invoice>
    <InvoiceHeader>
      <InvoiceType>IT2</InvoiceType>
      <Supplier>
        <Name>Sup1</Name>
        <OrgNumber>Org2</OrgNumber>
      </Supplier>
    </InvoiceHeader>
    <InvoiceDetails>
      <BaseItemDetails>
        <Description>description21</Description>
        <PerQuantity></PerQuantity>
      </BaseItemDetails>
    <BaseItemDetails>
      <Description>description21</Description>
      <PerQuantity>101</PerQuantity>
    </BaseItemDetails>
    </InvoiceDetails>
  </Invoice>
</Invoices>

Good coding, Stefan

Update: 'TwigRoots' option is not needed in the XML::Twig example. You may want to use 'forcearray', 'keyattr' or other options to get a consistent data structure.

Within the loop for invoices, find('InvoiceDetails/BaseItemDetails') and loop though that list printing the descriptions.

Other option would, to do some advertising, be to use XML::Rules. There's quite a few examples on Perlmonks.

Thx for all the help. I finally got this working as i wanted yesterday. After reading around some on the xml:twig side i used xml:twig combined with the code i already had. Had a very simular xml:xpath build that`s was suggested here. Next time i would propably just stick to xml:twig as it seemed to work better. Now for making a web interface for some simple searching :)
