Hi

I have xml file that look like that
<entities>
<Comp id="123">
<Description max_length="" reference_to=""
type="multiline_string"/>
<Clone max_length="" reference_to="Comp"
type="reference_list">
<Comp id="129" />
</Clone>
</Comp>
<Comp id="124">
<Description max_length="" reference_to=""
type="multiline_string"/>
</Comp>
</entities>

I need a way to get the Comp id numbers that are only on the top level
( under entities )
and not in all xml file.

Alternative solution, using XML::Parser:
