I highly recommend using a XML::Parser for it

Its very easy to use and implement.

Initially for one of our tasks, without thinking about XML::Parser, I did wrote a mini XML::Parser which turned to be much complicated to maintain later.

Switch to parsers that are already available

NAME
Data::DumpXML::Parser - Restore data dumped by Data::DumpXML SYNOPSIS
use Data::DumpXML::Parser; my $p = Data::DumpXML::Parser->new; my $data = $p->parsefile(shift || "test.xml"); DESCRIPTION
"Data::DumpXML::Parser" is an "XML::Parser" subclass that can recreate the data structure from an XML document produced by "Data::DumpXML". The parserfile() method returns a reference to an array of the values dumped. The constructor method new() takes a single additional argument to that of "XML::Parser": Blesser => CODEREF A subroutine that is invoked to bless restored objects. The subroutine is invoked with two arguments: a reference to the object, and a string containing the class name. If not provided, the built-in "bless" function is used. For situations where the input file cannot necessarily be trusted and blessing arbitrary Classes might give malicious input the ability to exploit the DESTROY methods of modules used by the code, it is a good idea to provide a no-op blesser: my $p = Data::DumpXML::Parser->new(Blesser => sub {}); SEE ALSO
