How (assuming it does) does XML::Simple deal with an XML element whose value changes throughout the course of the Dumper output?
XML::Simple code snippet: $data->{dataschemas}->{dataschema}{changing element name}->{attributes}->{attribute}} Dumper output snippet: (format adjusted for brevity): { 'dataschemas' => { 'dataschema' => { 'changing element name' => { 'attributes' => { 'attribute' => { [ ... attributes here ... } } } } } } If XML::Simple isn't the right module for the task, which is a better one? I looked at the 'where to from here?' section of the XML::Simple doc to answer this, but none of the modules briefly described there seem to be likely choices at this point.
