get data from xml

[Larry]

Hi,

Allthough I could use some great XML module from cpan, I would
like to get data from the following xml file by using regexp:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key></key>
<dict>
<key>1</key>
<dict>
<key>Track ID</key><integer>1</integer>
<key>Name</key><string>Brano 1</string>
</dict>
<key>2</key>
<dict>
<key>Track ID</key><integer>2</integer>
<key>Name</key><string>Brano 2</string>
</dict>

...etc...

</dict>
</dict>

I would like to get this and so forth:

<dict>
<key>Track ID</key><integer>1</integer>
<key>Name</key><string>Brano 1</string>
</dict>

sadly, i don't know how to go about it...

any help'll be appreciated

thanks

XML is not a regular language, therefore using a tool that is by design
limited to regular languages is flawed at best.(1)

Me neither. If you find a solution you may want to contact the ACM. It would
be a candidate for a Turing Award.

(1): Yes, I know there are extensions in Perl's REs that make them more
powerful than plain regular. But still: trying got parse XML using REs is
ridiculous.

There is nothing to like there, so please move on.
