Oops, I must have missed that. There are a couple of ways to do it, one of
which Andrew has already replied with:
  $node_content .= $_->toString for $node->childNodes;

Another way is to modify the Xpath you are using to retrieve the node to
instead return childnodes, i.e.
  $node_content .= $_->toString for
$doc->findnodes('/somepath/node/node()');
This could save you a step depending on whether you need the parent.

What would be _really_ nice is a toString() method for a nodelist itself.
Then you could do this:
  $doc->findnodes('/somepath/node/node()')->toString;

I could use that a lot. Currently nodelists have only to_literal() which
returns the string_value() of each node, which is not the same as
toString().
