in reply to XML::Simple, XMLOut() question

On the first sight it seems that you will have to change your structure to following - 

'user' => { 
    'favorites' => {
      'item' => [ 
          { 'title' => 'Book1','genre' => '5','author' => 'Someone' },
          { 'title' => 'Book2','genre' => '1','author' => 'Someone' }
        ]
      }
    }

    Thinking along the same lines. Means looping through the anon array of hashes returned by the query to extract a users favorites and adding the parent key 'item' to each, could work though will give it a try.

      You need not loop. Following would suffice

      $x->{user}->{favorites} = {item => $x->{user}->{favorites}};

      where $x is your original structure
