Please don't parse XML using regular expressions. Use an XML parser such as
http://search.cpan.org/dist/XML-LibXML/ (of which I took over the maintenance,
but I have used it beforehand, when it was maintained by other people), or a
similar parser (but please avoid XML::Simple). If the XML is not too large read
about its DOM (Document Object Model) capabilities and its XPath support.
