perl pattern match on xml
using perl

Hi All, i was wondering if anyone can solve how to extract the full tag from the xml line ie not sure what to put in the m// to get the string
"/data/TOP471//context_data/instruments.txt"
I basically want the above filename in a variable for further processing...

Code:
$_ ="          <file>/data/TOP471//context_data/instruments.txt</file>  ";

    if (m//) { 
        print '$+{xx} contains' . " $+{xx}\n";
    } else {
        print "No match: |$_|\n";
    }


Any help greatly appreciated!
Regards
Satnam

sorry should have been:

Code:
$_ ="          <file>/algodata/TOP471/dynamic.20110301.1301.ProductSCR.20002/ara/MarketRisk/data_ara/context_data/instruments.txt</file>  ";

    if (m//) { 
        print "Matched: |$`<$&>$'|\n"; # the special match vars
    } else {
        print "No match: |$_|\n";
    }
