Observe perldoc perlfunc.
More specifically:
   perldoc -f tell
   perldoc -f seek

Just store the address of the pointer after you hit a "node", 
then go back to the previous one.

  push @node, tell FH; # adds current position to end of @node
  seek FH, shift @node; # shift previous position off front of @node

If you do these together, @node will be an array of one element
everywhere but between these statements. =o)
