getValue from an XML having same attributes using Perl XMLDOM parser -

i trying value of 'taxamount' below xml contains same tag name @ different places.

from below xml, want value of 'taxamount' '7.2' under tag 'order', i'm getting 'taxamount' '1.2' under tag 'orderitem' in 'orderitemlist'.

could 1 me on getting value of 'taxamount' '7.2'?

i tried many things other similar questions, not succeeded in any.

<order>   <customerid />   <iscustomercompany>false</iscustomercompany>   <ordertimezone />   <orderdescription />   <orderitemlist>     <orderitem>       <orderitemid>1234</orderitemid>       <itemcode />            <taxamount>6.0</taxamount>     </orderitem>     <orderitem>       <orderitemid>1245</orderitemid>       <itemcode />       <taxamount>1.2</taxamount>     </orderitem>   </orderitemlist>   <currency>usd</currency>   <amount>120</amount>   <taxamount>7.2</taxamount> </order> 

the piece of code i'm using is,

use xml::dom;  $xml = xml::dom::parser->new->parse( $self->fullresponse )->getdocumentelement; $order_tag = $xml->tag('order'); $tax_amount =  $order_tag->getvalue('taxamount'); 

any appreciated.

can't specific module you're using, trick:

#!/usr/bin/perl  use strict; use warnings;  use xml::twig;  $twig = xml::twig -> new (  ) -> parse ( 'your_xml_file' ); print $twig -> root -> get_xpath ( "./taxamount",0 ) -> text; 

note in example, "root" node order looking order beneath what's tripping up.
