Re^2: XML::Simple parsing into a hash wierd behaviour

ForceArray does not help here. The issue here: XML::Simple by default takes "name" as the key attribute.

Did you try it? Without `ForceArray => [qw( type )]`: `$VAR1 = { 'type' => { 'scenario1' => { 'report' => 'Dummy2' }, 'default' => { 'report' => 'Dummy1' } } }; $VAR1 = { 'type' => { 'report' => 'Dummy1', 'name' => 'default' } };` [download] With `ForceArray => [qw( type )]`: `$VAR1 = { 'type' => { 'scenario1' => { 'report' => 'Dummy2' }, 'default' => { 'report' => 'Dummy1' } } }; $VAR1 = { 'type' => { 'default' => { 'report' => 'Dummy1' } } };` [download] That's exactly the output the OP requested.

Did you try it?

Without ForceArray => [qw( type )]:

$VAR1 = {
          'type' => {
                    'scenario1' => {
                                   'report' => 'Dummy2'
                                 },
                    'default' => {
                                 'report' => 'Dummy1'
                               }
                  }
        };


$VAR1 = {
          'type' => {
                    'report' => 'Dummy1',
                    'name' => 'default'
                  }
        };

With ForceArray => [qw( type )]:

$VAR1 = {
          'type' => {
                    'scenario1' => {
                                   'report' => 'Dummy2'

                    'default' => {

                               }
                  }
        };

$VAR1 = {
          'type' => {
