Hi All,
I'm quite new to perl and at the moment i'm working on a config file. I've looked at a few modules for creating simple configs and XML:Simple is the one which was more easy to understand for me. I've put together a short config but need help with how to access this from my main script i.e how to refer to the variables in my config.Any help would be great. Thanks!

Main script

use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumper;
my $config = XMLin();
print Dumper($config);

Config.xml

<Config>
<Application Name="App1">
<Location Name="Loc1">
<CDrive>C:\Temp</CDrive>
<ZDrive>Z:\Temp</ZDrive>
</Location>
</Application>
</Config>
Dumper

$VAR1 = {
'Application' => {
'Location' => {
'ZDrive' => 'Z:\\Temp',
'CDrive' => 'C:\\Temp',
'Name' => 'Loc1'
},
'Name' => 'App1'
}
};
