First, I urge you to try parsing this doc with a dedicated RSS parser,
it will do miracles for your needs. Second, the dumper you print here
is not the full document, but one branch, it might be that what you
loop over is not an arrayref, or might not work the way you think. Try
running a Dumper over the entire doc.
Aside, do you get any warnings from your code? It might shed a light
over what perl thinks the data structure is.
