How can I parse file containing xml ?
I am sure that its best to use perl - but my perl is not very good - can someone help?

Example below contents of file containing the xml - I basically want to parse the file and have each field contained in a variable..

ie. I want to store the account number in a variable, name in a variable, add in a variable

So I could just echo $accountnumb $name $add etc and get the following
65004 Bob Daly Ireland



XML Sample File

<?xml version="1.0"?>
