Question

  Getting the  linkedin user profile

     my $profile_xml = $li->request(
                       request_url         => 'http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,last-name,positions,industry,distance)',
                       access_token        => $access_token->{token},
                       access_token_secret => $access_token->{secret},

);

I got the result but i want to get the id, first-name, last-name separately. how to use the GetElementByTheTagName to retrieve the values.

Answer 1

if you able to manage the xml content like this:

 $str = '<id>bYdSs9C</id><first-name>Jack</first-name> <last-name>Rudloph</last-name>';

we can use this to get the fields

while ($str =~ /<.*?>(.*?)</.*?>/g) {
        print $1, "
";
}
