I'm editing an existing XML file by cutting children and inserting elements into a twig. The orginal XML is formatted as follows:
<PrimaryServers>
<Server Name="Old_1"/>
<Server Name="Old_2"/>
</PrimaryServers>
That particular section is edited with the following:
my $ps = $sc->first_child('PrimaryServers');
$ps->cut_children;
$ps->insert_new_elt("Server")->set_att('Name', "New_1");
$ps->insert_new_elt("Server")->set_att('Name', "New_2");
Everything works as expected. However, when dumping the XML to a file with
$root->print() that section appears as:
<PrimaryServers><Server Name="New_2"/><Server Name="New_1"/></PrimaryS
+ervers>
How do I define a formating style on those inserted children so that the final output will appear as:
<PrimaryServers>
<Server Name="New_2"/>
<Server Name="New_1"/>
</PrimaryServers>
I've tried setting
pretty_print to 'indented' as well as the other choices but none see to work. The rest of the XML retains the original formatting, it's just the twig that I edited that is lacking the formatting.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
