For this sample we will just hard code some dummy data. =cut my $postalCode = "19348"; ## Build the XML Request my $xmlRequest = " <ServiceCenterDetailsRequest testmode=\"Y\"> <PostalCode country=\"US\">$postalCode</PostalCode> </ServiceCenterDetailsRequest>"; ## print $xmlRequest; ## URL Encode the XML String $xmlRequest = uri_escape($xmlRequest); ## Set up the HTTP request my $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => $postUri); $req->authorization_basic($username, $password); $req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded'); $req->content("$requestType=$xmlRequest"); my $userAgent = LWP::UserAgent->new; my $resp = $userAgent->request($req); ## Abort now with error message if not successful if (!$resp->is_success) { print $resp->error_as_HTML; exit; } ## Parse the XML response my $parser = XML::Parser->new(ErrorContext => 2, Style => "Tree"); my $respObj = XML::SimpleObject->new( $parser->parse($resp->content) ); my $rootEl = $respObj->child($responseType); ## Some ways to access the XML response data: ## To print out information for the entire XML response: parseElement($rootEl); ## To get information for just one child element of the root: my $respElement = "Name"; parseElement($rootEl->child($respElement)); ## If you only want to get some key data: my $respValue = $rootEl->child($respElement)->value; print "\n $respElement: $respValue"; =item This subroutine accesses and prints the XML tree for the element argument, printing element names, attibutes and text values, but not in any order. It processess recursively, so as to print the entire tree for the given element. =cut sub parseElement { my $parseEl = $_[0]; print "Parsing element <", $parseEl->name, ">:\n"; printElementAttributes($parseEl); printElementValue($parseEl); foreach my $element ($parseEl->children()) { print "<", $element->name, "> element - \n"; printElementAttributes($element); printElementValue($element); if ($element->children()) { print " Beginning children of <",$element->name,">: \n\n"; parseElement($element); print " End of children for <", $element->name, ">\n"; } print "\n"; } } sub printElementAttributes { my $element = $_[0]; if ($element->attributes()) { my %attributes = $element->attributes(); print "\t", "Attributes: "; foreach my $key (keys %attributes) { my $value = $attributes{$key}; print $key."=\"".$value ."\" "; } print "\n"; } } sub printElementValue { if ($_[0]->value) { print "\t", "Value: ", $_[0]->value, "\n"; } }
