Re: How do I parse XML with repeating attribute values?

"name" isn't a key, so tell XML::Simple it isn't.

KeyAttr => []

Arguably this isn't well-formed XML

I don't think so. I don't know of any constraint on the value of fields named "name".

ikegami, Thanks, you are quite correct. I was screwed up by the rather too cute default value for KeyAttr. From the XML::Simple perldoc: Note 1: The default value for 'KeyAttr' is 'name', 'key', 'id'. (Note to self: I will read the manual. I will read the manual. I will RTFM ...) Larry	[reply]

I don't blame you. It's a bad default.	[reply]
