Hello
I have looked at previous nodes but still don't see how to stop my error appearing

I am getting a 'can't call method 'toString' on unblessed reference'
Am I correct in saying that this perhaps is because the object I m trying to print to string is not the correct type?

I am looping through an array to print the contents to the screen
This array is compiled by adding the returned array to an array which is then looped through and printed.

The code to do this is:

foreach my $root (@docs){    
  foreach my $object (@$root) {
    print $object->toString();
  }
}

[download]

The array @docs is made up up XML of either
<Folder>
or
<Placemark>
These are added to the array from the subroutine which retuns either the placemark array or the folder array 
if ($size eq "1"){
  my @placemark = $doc->getElementsByTagName('Placemark');
  if(@placemark){
    @placemark = convertCoords(@placemark);
    }
  return [@folder];
}
else {
  my @placemark = $doc->getElementsByTagName('Placemark');
  @placemark = convertCoords(@placemark);
  return [@placemark];
  }

The <Folder> elements are printed out although the <Placemark> elements are not. I am not sure why the <Placemark> elements are not a blessed reference and am happy to expand/include more code if required.

Any help would be so much appreciated.

Niall
