Re: generating attributes and content for an element

Hi Shlomi,

Thanks for your suggestion. I used XML::Simple because it was the module 
used in the tutorials that I found and judging by its name I thought it 
would be a good one to start learning and that I could upgrade later 
when I manage to do simple things.

Thanks again, Manuel
