You are elements don't have values.
Elements contain other nodes which may have values.
Text nodes and Attribute nodes have values.
So you want something like...
sub get_element_value {
my $element = shift;
for (my $node = $element->getFirstChild; ! $node->isNull; $node =
$node->getNextSibling) {
next if ($node->getNodeType != $XML::Xerces::DOMParse::ELEMENT_NODE);
print $node->getNodeValue;
}
}
... or you can just use XML::Xerces::DOMParse::element_text( $element )
which
does, roughly, the same thing.
