Hi, I am trying to learn and use XML with perl but because of difficulty that I am having with the perldoc XML::Twig and also the website of twig(despite all the tutorials, I decide to seek for help here. honestly, I just don't think I am getting it.

Anyway, I have fairly complicated XML file I want to parse out so that I can do some report on it but I am just not sure how to use XML::Twig nor if XML::Twig is even the right module to use.

I have been
1)trying to read the doc but honestly, it's little bit over my head...
2)trying to follow the tutorials on the website but it's not giving me what I want..(i am sure I am just not getting it .. same for 1) as well but
3)also did super seach on perlmonks w/ following key words ---> xml twig and read pretty much read all posts)

I have wrote a example xml file below and my question is, if I wanted to make a array of id so that my @array will contain qw/ msn movies espn/ how would I go about doing it?

I was thinking somehow using first_child method?
Would appreciate the pointer/advise.
thank you 
-------- code that I was just looking at-------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use XML::Twig;

my $twig = XML::Twig->new(twig_roots => { one => 1});
$twig->parsefile(shift);
$twig->print;




--- example file -------
<config>
 <one id="msn" type="shopping">
   <traffic>
       <daily value="on" />
       <weekly value="off" />
       <monthly value="off" />
   </traffic>
  </one>

 <one id="movies" type="entertainment">
   <traffic>
       <daily value="on" />
       <weekly value="off />
       <monthly value="on" />
   </traffic>
 </one>

 <one id="espn" type="sports">
  <traffic>
      <daily value="on" />
      <weekly value="on" />
      <monthly value="on />
      <hyper value="true />
  </traffic>
 </one>
</config>
