in reply to XML::Twig output problem

The code you posted has compile errors for me (DumpOldAds and extra semicolons). Are you sure this is the code you are using? If not, please update the OP.

Also, please post the exact output you expect.

    The output should have all ads - <nis:NISJob>...</nis:NISJob> that have a JobActiveDate of today. What I get in the output file is just the last ad - <nis:NISJob>...</nis:NISJob> in the file with today's JobActiveDate. Yup, forgot to take out some testing trash on the sub:

    sub DumpOldAds
    { my ($twig,$nisNISJob)=@_;

        my $date = UnixDate("today", "%Y-%m-%d".'T00:00:00');
        chomp $date;
        
        my $adate = $nisNISJob->findvalue('//JobActiveDate'); 
        print "\n$adate -|- $date\n";
        
        if( $adate  ne  $date) { $nisNISJob->delete; };
        #else {$twig->flush;};
        
            }

      Make that the first ad not the last, sorry, long week. If I flush it, it deletes all the ads even though the comparison is valid to keep them!

        Sounds like nonsense. flush is used for printing the twig to output. If that isn't what you want, stop flushing
