Hi PerlMonks

I have the following problem to solve and need your help!

I have two XML files (that should be identical but not always) and I would to extract some values and align them.

My XML files look like this:

<file original="File_1.xml">
<body>
    <unit id="id1">
        <title>Part 1_file1</title>
    </unit>
    <unit id="id2">
        <title>Part 2</title>
    </unit>
</body>
</file>
<file original="File_2.xml">
<body>
    <unit id="id1">
        <title>Part 1</title>
    </unit>
</body>
</file>

I would like to align them in this way:

File_1.xml    id1    title_value_from_first_xml    title_value_from_se
+cond_xml
File_1.xml    id2    title_value_from_first_xml    title_value_from_se
+cond_xml
File_2.xml    id1    title_value_from_first_xml    title_value_from_se
+cond_xml

Any suggestions?
