I am using XML::LibXML's findnodes method to find XML nodes. Most

and others, but nothing worked so far.
Any suggestion anybody?
The findnodes() method returns an XML::LibXML::NodeList object in 
scalar context. The XML::LibXML::NodeList class includes a shift() 
method that works like Perl's built-in function. So you might try this:

$myNode = $xmlDox->findnodes("XPathExpression")->shift();
