in reply to perl xml parsing

You overwrite the file handle by 
$fh_o = Dumper ($data);

You probably wanted to assign the output to $_ to be printed later, so replace this line with 
$_ = Dumper ($data);

and all should work.

    I tried this out but i got an error again (could not find ParserDetails.ini in C:/Perl/site/lib/XML/SAX GLOB(0xf9def4)) 

    #!/usr/bin/perl
   
  
   use XML::Simple;
   use Data::Dumper;
   
   $xml = new XML::Simple;
   
  
  
   $data = $xml->XMLin("news2Obama.xml");
   
   
   
  open $fh_o, '>', 'new_output.txt' or die "can't open file: $!";
   
  $_ = Dumper ($data);
   
  print $fh_o;   
   
  
 close $fh_o or die "can't close file:$!";

      From the command line run this:

      perl -MXML::SAX -e "XML::SAX->add_parser('XML::SAX::PurePerl')->save_p
+arsers()"

      Also consider adding the following lines to your code:

      use strict;
use warnings;
