Re: storing xml file in hash

    You don't give us much to work with. The easiest way is the following:

    my $filename = 'test.xml';
open my $fh, '<', $filename
    or die "Couldn't read '$filename': $!";
my $xml_as_hash = { xml => do { local $/; <$fh> }};

    But maybe you wanted something like XML::Simple. In general, you cannot convert an XML file to a hash, because a hash can only have one value per key.

    Use a parser, such as XML::Twig. If you want a more detailed answer, provide a small sample of your XML, your expected output, and the code you have tried.
