Yeah, this worked:

my $val;
my $t= XML::Twig->new( twig_handlers => 
              { 'CustDetails' => sub { $val = $_->first_child('Custome
+rId')->text(), } }
                       )
                  ->parse($test_xml);
print $val;

I wish it was less complicated for such a simple example on how to use XML::Twig - Could it be simpler just using RegExp?

Thank you!
