XML to MySQL

I have a (large - about 27k entries) xml file that I need to import into mysql.
It’s a dump of the Cisco error message database and I want to import it to use on the syslog server so that when a message comes in, it will display more info w/o having to go to CCO and look it up manually.

Here’s what the xml looks like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<cemdb class="simple">
  <date>2006-06-28</date>
  <error name="%">
    <explanation></explanation>
    <action></action>
  </error>
  <error name="%">
    <explanation>The POST has reported an incorrect memory size.</explanation>
    <action>Replace the EAIM.</action>
  </error>
  <error name="%00:00:00:00:00:00">
    <explanation>This is not a valid MAC address, and is probably being generated by non 802.1d
compliant hardware or software in the network. When there is a request to show the hosts the switch
has learned, it must sort the MAC addresses it has learned to reply to the request. The sort algorithm
cannot deal with a MAC address which is all zeroes, so the address will not be included in the table
of hosts which needs to be sorted. This means that even though the switch has learned a host with an
all zero MAC address, it will not show up in any display of hosts the switch has learned.</explanation>
    <action>Track down the source of this bad address.</action>
  </error>
  <error name="%AAA-1-AAA_SESSION_LIMIT_REJECT: aaa request rejected as maximum aaa sessions are in progress.">
    <explanation>The AAA request is rejected because the maximum limit for concurrent AAA sessions
was reached.</explanation>

</cemdb>



And here’s the mysql table:
CREATE TABLE cemdb (
id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
name varchar(128) NOT NULL default '',
error text,
descr text,
action text,
datetime datetime default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY  (id),
UNIQUE KEY name (name)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;

Can someone please write a perl script to import this into mysql for me?
