XML::Simple does not pick up multiple entries into array

I'm parsing data and one of there are multiple EMBEDDED_FILE tags.
I've set it to put these into an array as well as a hash. However,
only one entry appears

$ref = XMLin($xml_src,
ForceArray => [ 'EMBEDDED_FILE' ],
SuppressEmpty => '');


This is the result. I can view the source and there are multiple
EMBEDDED_FILE tags. So,










This is the result:

'EMBEDDED_FILE' => [
{
'DOCUMENT' => '',
'_Type' => 'HTML'
}
],

When there is a single entry usually PDF, I can decode it properly.
Is there an option to force it to correctly interpret the two entries?

Thanks
Jack

I am no XML expert, but well-formed XML documents should have a single,
all-enclosing tag at the beginning and end, and yours doesn't. You can
try adding them:

$xml_src = "$xml_src";

If you can't do that, you can try other XML parsers that might work
differently from XML::Simple, but you really should be giving
well-formed input to any XML Parser.
