#xmllib — Public Fediverse posts

Any experienced Perl folks out there using XML::LibXML vs XML::Simple?

I'm trying to move to LibXML like a good modern xml munger.

I'm using the XML weather data file here: https://alberniweather.ca/ECXMLfileInland.xml

I've been getting the keys and entries from the XML file by loading it with:
my $data = $xml->XMLin($xmlFile);
which creates an array that I can move through etc.

but with LibXML using:
my $dom = XML::LibXML->load_xml(location => $xmlFile);

$dom ends up being a string rather than an array of XML stuff and I can't reference the various nodes etc.

wwwhhhhyyyy?
