in reply to perl xpath extraction

Check out XML::Twig:

use XML::Twig;

my $t= XML::Twig->new( twig_handlers => {
    'editor[@role="editor"]' => sub { print $_->text() },
});
$t->parsefile( 'yourfile.xml' );

    I would agree with the suggestion to use XML::Twig. I use Perl to process XML data all the time and have found XML::Twig indispensable.
