File processing and XML::Simple hash table problem

Asked by acrxx in Perl Programming Language

Hi Everyone,

I am having some serious problem using lines from a file as hash table references, they simply will not work. The files contain attributes which are present within the XML file being read in, one per line. It worked fine as ling as I only used <myFile>, but after I added the second file <myGroupsFile>, it failed to read from the XML::Simple hash data object.

Any ideas where problem may lie?
