Well - as mentioned before, you can either try to create a dumb parser
using regexpes, or you use a proper XML Parser (recommended).

You could e.g. try the module XML::Simple - this will parse your XML Text
and convert it into a perl hash:

use XML::Simple;

my $parser= new XML::Simple();

my $hash= $parser->XMLin($text);

and then you will have something similar to the following in your hash:

{
   'ord' => 'anbud',
   'lev' => '2001-06-14',
   'dat' => '14-06-01',
   ...
}

Please note that XML::Simple is a bit picky about XML syntax, so your
input file should rather be valid XML, and not just text with some tags
somewhere.
