You can use perl's XML::Simple module, it's easy to use too

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumper;

my $xml = new XML::Simple;
my $data = $xml->XMLin("test.xml");

print Dumper $data;

print "$data->{'group'}{'gotoButton'}{'name'} - ";
print "$data->{'group'}{'gotoButton'}{'display'}\n";
print "$data->{'gotoButton'}{'name'} - ";
print "$data->{'gotoButton'}{'display'}\n";

Output:
$VAR1 = {
          'gotoButton' => {
                          'imageSettings' => {
                                             'imageName' => '',
                                             'alignment' => 'middleCen
+ter'
                                           },
                          'caption' => {

                          'name' => 'GotoDisplayButton12',
                          'display' => '36 AIR_OIL SYSTEM SETUP_2'
                        },

                                                        'alignment' =>

                                                      },
                                     'caption' => {

Using dumper, you will get the data inside the xml file in perl datastructure i.e, hash of hashes or arrays from which data can be pulled out in similar manner as I have mentioned in code.
