You misunderstand my solution Bruce. If you set the options as I
described, you will have a hash element that looks like
'phone2' => undef
instead of the awkward
'phone2' => {}
This would be my preference instead of suppressing the empty element
altogether, which leaves no indication at all that the element was present.
Another reason not to use XML::Simple ;)
HTH,

Thanks Rob,
I'm glad you validated the solution I found. I figured out that if the
empty tag was suppressed, I could test for the tag being present or not.

Hello Bruce
Take a closer look at the docs, and try
my $xml = XMLin($data, SuppressEmpty => undef);
HTH,
