hi, thanks for the feedback, I have now something to work with.

it looks going in the good direction the only thing I don't understand is why the output is has follows:

Code:

$VAR1 = [
          '<?',
          '="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>...</Document><?',
          '="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>...</Document><?',
          '="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>...</Document><?',
          '="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>...</Document><?',
          '="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>...</Document><?',
          '="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>...</Document><?',
          '="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>...</Document><?',
          '="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>...</Document><?',
          '="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>...</Document><?',
          '="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>...</Document><?',
          '="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>...</Document><?',
          '="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>...</Document><?',
          '="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>...</Document><?',
          '="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>...</Document><?',
          '="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>...</Document>'
        ];

I probably need an escape character my string no?

because the first <? get's separated from the full thing.

ok I get the split fix, because of the escape character. (/<\?xml version/)

but how do I make the split give me back the matching part has part of the result line?
maybe is just easier if I store it in a variable and then place it later.

code:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper qw(Dumper);

sub usage {
    print "Usage: $_[0] <filename>\n";
    exit;
}
#
# $0 is always the name of the program
#
my $filename = shift or usage $0;

# Same:
# my $filename = shift @ARGV or usage $0;

open my $fh, '<', $filename or die "$!\n";
     # change the separator to empty and read
     # the whole file as a string
     local $/;
     my @content = split /<\?xml version/, <$fh>;
close $fh;

print Dumper \@content;

cgi::xml

XML(3pm)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						  XML(3pm)

NAME

       CGI::XML - Perl extension for converting CGI.pm variables to/from XML

SYNOPSIS

	 use CGI::XML;
	 $q = new CGI::XML;

	 # convert CGI.pm variables to XML
	 $xml = $q->toXML;
	 $xml = $q->toXML($root);

	 # convert XML to CGI.pm variables
	 $q->toCGI($xml);

DESCRIPTION

       The CGI::XML module converts CGI.pm variables to XML and vice versa.

       CGI::XML is a subclass of CGI.pm, so it reads the CGI variables just as CGI.pm would.

METHODS

       $q = new CGI::XML
	   creates a new instance of CGI::XML. You also have access to all of the methods in CGI.pm.

       $q->toXML([$root])
	   where $root is an optional parameter that specifies the root element. By default, toXML will not return a root element.

       $q->toCGI($xml)
	   where $xml is the XML you would like to convert to CGI.pm parameters. Values in the XML will overwrite any existing values if they
	   exist.

NOTE

       CGI::XML does not currently handle multiple selections passed from HTML forms. This will be added in a future release.
