I am trying to get email addresses out of a Sylpheed address book. The output of Dumper is;
$VAR1 = { 'attribute-list' => [ {} ], 'first-name' => '', 'uid' => '158149473', 'cn' => 'Julie Jumper', 'address-list' => [ { 'address' => [ { 'email' => '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'uid' => '158149474', 'remarks' =[1]> '', 'alias' => '' } ] } ], 'last-name' => '', 'nick-name' => '' }; I cannot get my head around extracting the 'email' it seems be be buried deep inside an array and a hash Here is an attempt; #!/usr/bin/perl use XML::Simple; use Data::Dumper; use strict; my $xml = new XML::Simple (KeyAttr=>[], ForceArray => 1); my $data = $xml->XMLin("ab6.xml"); foreach my $d (@{$data->{person}}) { print $d->{cn}; #<- that works print "\t"; print $d->{"address-list"} # <-need to get down to address and email. # most attempts failed but some gave a # hash reference print "\n"; } TIA for any assistance/clues -- Owen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
