Answer by kailash19 for Extracting only the values of xml removing the xml tag

Based on your requirement, you can try this.I have used the file provided by you in example.

we are here defining the root key contents in XML(or renaming it), you need to choose a key which will not be in your XML( i have choose root-contents).

#!/usr/bin/perluse strict;use XML::Simple;use Data::Dumper;my $key;my $simple = XML::Simple->new();my $data = $simple->XMLin('XMLRemoval.xml', 'ContentKey' => 'root-contents');print Dumper $data;my $val = $data->{'root-contents'};if(ref($val) =~ /Array/i){    foreach (@$val)    {        print "$_\n";    }}else{    print "$val\n";}

Please go though the XML::Simple documentation, there are lot of options to tweak per your requirement.

I will leave the debug part to you for your code to check what was the error and how can solve it(which is explanatory itself) :).
