You can use awk to extract required attributes and values.

Here is a code that extracts the first 3 required fields:
Code:
awk -F'[=>]' ' {
                for ( i = 1; i <= NF; i++ )
                {
                        if ( $i ~ /dateTime/ )
                        {
                                dT = $( i + 1 )
                                gsub (/\"[ ]+.*|\"/, X, dT)
                        }
                        if ( $i ~ /SOATransactionID/ )
                        {
                                SID = $( i + 1 )
                                gsub (/\">.*|\"/, X, SID)
                        }
                        if ( $i ~ /<xml:tariffCode/ )
                        {
                                tC = $( i + 1 )
                                gsub (/<.*/, X, tC)
                        }
                }
} END {
        print dT, SID, tC
} ' OFS=, xmlfile

I will leave it to you for extracting the rest.

xml::libxml::nodelist::iterator

XML::LibXML::NodeList::Iterator(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		      XML::LibXML::NodeList::Iterator(3pm)

NAME

       XML::LibXML::NodeList::Iterator - Iteration Class for XML::LibXML XPath results

SYNOPSIS

	 use XML::LibXML;
	 use XML::LibXML::NodeList::Iterator;

	 my $doc = XML::LibXML->new->parse_string( $somedata );
	 my $nodelist = $doc->findnodes( $somexpathquery );

	 my $iter= XML::LibXML::NodeList::Iterator->new( $nodelist );

	 # more control on the flow
	 while ( $iter->nextNode ) {
	     # do something
	 }

	 # operate on the entire tree
	 $iter->iterate( &operate );

DESCRIPTION

       XML::LibXML::NodeList::Iterator is very similar to XML::LibXML::Iterator, but it does not iterate on the tree structure but on a
       XML::LibXML::NodeList object. Because XML::LibXML::NodeList is basicly an array the functionality of XML::LibXML::NodeList::Iterator is
       more restircted to stepwise foreward and backward than XML::LibXML::Iterator is.
