I have a simple XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<App>
<node name="1st node" text="Text of 1st node" />
<node name="2nd node" text="Text of 2nd node" />
<node name="3rd node" text="Text of 3rd node" />
...
</App>

I want to use XML::Simple to list all the "nodes" and their "text" attributes as follows:

1st node: Text of 1st node
2nd node: Text of 2nd node
3rd node: Text of 3rd node
...

[download]

What I have doesn't work, I get no listing at all:

use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumper;

my $input="app.xml";

my $xml = new XML::Simple(KeyAttr =>1,ForceArray =>1);
my $data = $xml->XMLin($input);

foreach my $node (@{$data->{App}{node}}) {
    print $node->{name}.": ".$node->{text}."\n";
}

In reply to XML::Simple: list all element attributes by element22
