You are better off using
XML::Parser - search.cpan.org
to parse xml.
It is somewhat complex, but it will handle correctly formed XML strings.
What if for some valid reason some "field" you expect to key off of is missing? grep may break. An xml parser won't.

rpc::xml::parser::xmlparser
RPC::XML::Parser::XMLParser(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation RPC::XML::Parser::XMLParser(3pm)
NAME
RPC::XML::Parser::XMLParser - A container class for XML::Parser
SYNOPSIS
# This class should rarely (if ever) be used directly:
use RPC::XML::ParserFactory 'XML::Parser';
...
$P = RPC::XML::ParserFactory->new();
$P->parse($message);
DESCRIPTION
This class implements the interface defined in the RPC::XML::Parser factory-class (see RPC::XML::Parser) using the XML::Parser module to
handle the actual manipulation of XML.
SUBROUTINES
/METHODS
This module implements the public-facing methods as described in RPC::XML::Parser:
new [ ARGS ]
The constructor only recognizes the two parameters specified in the base class (for the RPC::XML::base64 file-spooling operations).
parse [ STRING | STREAM ]
The parse() method accepts either a string of XML, a filehandle of some sort, or no argument at all. In the latter case, the return
value is a parser instance that acts as a push-parser (a non-blocking parser). For the first two types of input, the return value is
either a message object (one of RPC::XML::request or RPC::XML::response) or an error.
parse_more STRING
(Only callable on a push-parser instance) Parses the chunk of XML, which does not have to describe a complete document, and adds it to
the current running document. If this method is called on a parser instance that is not a push-parser, an exception is thrown.
parse_done
(Only callable on a push-parser instance) Finishes the parsing process and returns either a message object (one of RPC::XML::request or
RPC::XML::response) or an error (if the document was incomplete, not well-formed, or not valid). If this method is called on a parser
instance that is not a push-parser, an exception is thrown.
DIAGNOSTICS
All methods return some type of reference on success. The new and parse methods return message strings on errors. The parse_more and
parse_done methods may throw exceptions on errors, if the error occurs at the XML::Parser level.
EXTERNAL ENTITIES
As of version 1.24 of this module (version 0.75 of the RPC::XML suite), external entities whose URI is a "file:/" scheme (local file) are
explicitly ignored. This is for security purposes.
