Re: XML::Simple => XMLout()

The XML wasn't valid, so I made a change at the start. Change <opt> to <opt/>. <opt> results in a premature end of data. Next, you'll need to use:

my $config = XMLin($foo, KeyAttr => 1, ForceArray => 1);

ForceArray by itself isn't enough. Here's what I got:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Simple qw(:strict);

my $foo = '/root/Desktop/log.xml';
my $config = XMLin($foo, KeyAttr => 1, ForceArray => 1);

use Data::Dumper::Concise;
print Dumper($config);

The first line of the XML data was `<opt>` and the last line of the XML data was `</opt>`. That looks like a valid matching pair of opening and closing tags to me. Not sure I follow why you're suggesting that the OP to change `<opt>` to `<opt/>`, which in my opinion would leave an orphaned `</opt>` tag at the end. Am I missing something?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You're not missing something. I have to agree with you. To get it to work with XMLin though, that's what I had to do. I originally put the xml under __DATA__: I had to use `<opt/>` for that; however, I just noticed that when I call the xml as a file, then `<opt>` works as it should. Sorry for the confusion.
