Re^2: Problem handling complex data structure with XML::Simple

Sorry, sorry, I am just not getting it. Sigh. Anyway, I (of course) neglected to fully describe the XML hierarchy. It is not simply OneUploadedFile:ChecksumResult It is DepositoryProcessingRecord:MultiFileDoc:OneUploadedFile:ChecksumResult So, in trying to extrapolate, I am getting Not an ARRAY reference at ./parseXML.pl line 46. Line 46 is: my $checkSumResult = $xmlRef->{DepositoryProcessingRecord}->{MultiFileDoc}->{OneUploadedFile}->[0]->{'FinalDocStoragePath'}; I apologize; I just can't get my head around this.

I'm basing it on the var you dumped. If you dumped `$x`, replace `$VAR1` with `$x`. If you dumped `$xmlRef->{DepositoryProcessingRecord}->{MultiFileDoc}`, replace `$VAR1` with `$xmlRef->{DepositoryProcessingRecord}->{MultiFileDoc}`. If you did dump `$xmlRef->{DepositoryProcessingRecord}->{MultiFileDoc}` and you are now getting this error, then `$xmlRef->{DepositoryProcessingRecord}->{MultiFileDoc}` no longer contains what you showed us it contained, and you'll have to adjust the code according to what it contains now.
