Can't get 'content' element to fold correctly in XML::Simple

I suggest you use XML::XPath. Read the docs on how to use it, it would make
your extremely confusing loops disappear into something far more readable.
Plus all the "getFirstChild" and "getData" disappear too. You might have to
learn XPath but it will be a worthwhile time spent. Parsing a DOM without
XPath is tedious and error prone.
You can easily specify tags and elements with XPath, to get all the info you
need from a file.
