perl and xml

[myasin78]

hello all,
I am looking to read mysql database and then convert the recoreds int xml format.

I can read mysql easily, so right now i am testing flat file "tab delimated file" to import the data into xml format. I am using XML::Simple;

here is my code.

my $fi = "file.txt";
my $xml = XMLout($fi);

there is no error or result. can someone help me please.
thanks,

I've not used XML::Simple but maybe you haven't got a problem. Have you tried printing $xml to see if the variable contains the result?


Kind Regards
Duncan

I solved the problem by reading the text file into hash

%hash[$i]{name} = $str;
my $xml = XMLout(%hash);

thanks,

Monther.
