Parsing xml with xml::twig?

Your XML does not conform specification, so no parser could process it as it is. Main problems are: XML is case-sensitive, so Item is something else than item closing tags start with slash, not backslash there should be top-level element Fixing those issues, this code works: use strict; use warnings; use XML::Twig; my $data = data1 data2 data1 data2 END_DATA my $t = XML::Twig->new( twig_handlers => { 'item' => sub { # process each item and print contents of dataN elements print $_->first_child_trimmed_text('data1'), "\t", $_->first_child_trimmed_text('data2'),"\n"; }, }, )->parse($data).

Thanks for the answer,sorry I updated my question in the same time you wrote the answer. – Rubin Aug 1 '11 at 19:25 @Rubin - you can access descendant items like this: eval { $_->first_descendant('data3')->trimmed_text }. I think your best bet is to play with example I posted and look XML::Twig docs for methods description.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
