If I have a xml file like the following:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<employee>
<name>John Doe</name>
<age>43</age>
<sex>M</sex>
<department>Recieving</department>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Bob Gordon</name>
<age>50</age>
<sex>M</sex>
<department>Shipping</department>
</employee>
Is there some perl module out there that can help me get the number of
employees or in other words, the number occurences of "<employee>"?
I guess I can get it conventionally by reading in the file and doing a count
every time the script encounters "<name>". But there must be an easier way.
Any ideas?
