Hi,

maybe i just misunderstand something, but i think the script xml_simple_tst.pl misbehaves. If you read in hash.xml $ref->{script} is a HASH-Ref, if you read in array.xml it is an ARRAY-Ref. The only difference between hash.xml and array.xml is, that in hash.xml the name of an atribute in the /scripts/script element is 'key', whereas on the same position and with the same value there is an attribute called 'mkey' in array.xml.

If it is not a bug, could you please explain this?

Best regards

Paul

The default value of the KeyAttr option is what's causing the difference you're seeing: https://metacpan.org/pod/XML::Simple#OPTIONS If you're writing new code, it's probably better to start with a different module. I almost always use XML::LibXML as described here: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=490846 But if you decide to stick with XML::Simple, please read this: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=218480 Regards Grant
