XML::Twig::Elt cannot paste. Why?

Skeeve has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

given this code snippet:

foreach my $child ($tag->children) {
  my $newElt= XML::Twig::Elt->new(Contains => { map {$_ , $child->{'at
+t'}->{$_}||''} qw(name type comment) });
  $tag->paste('last_child', $newElt);
}
[download]

how can it be that the program dies with:

cannot paste an element that belongs to a tree at ./E2W line 546
[download]

line 546 is the past-line.

I found my mistake... it should be: `$newElt->paste('last_child', $tag);` [download] not `$tag->paste('last_child', $newElt);` [download] Sorry...	[reply] [d/l] [select]
