Hello monks, I have an XML file that I wish to parse and store information from some of the branches in arrays. I have tried several different approaches and none seem to do what I need. It is the url tag that I wish to store into different arrays.

Thanking anyone in advance for any insight 

use LWP::Simple; 
 use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumper; 
use strict;
use warnings;
  
my $parser = XMLin("c:\\temp\\data.xml");
print Dumper($parser);

print $parser->{HttpSiteAddress} . "\n";
print $parser->{SiteAssets}->{asset}->{url}, "\n";
print $parser->{FragmentAssets}->{asset}->{url}->[1];

Produces the following output + error:
