If you are going to stick with XML::Simple, then you should probably read MJD's tutorial on references and also take a look at this article on avoiding common bugs with using XML::Simple. I originally created XML::Simple specifically for the purpose of reading XML config files but I almost never use them any more. It wasn't obvious to me just how bad an idea it was until I did some work with Java :-)	[reply]
