Being not the XPath expert, poj's post (++) animated to reduce my solution to the following:

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

use local::lib 'lib';

use XML::Twig;

my $string = <<EOF;
<Person name="Brian">
    <Phones>
        <Phone name="cell" number="5551112233" />
        <Phone name="cell" number="5557778899" />
        <Phone name="home" number="5554441122" />
    </Phones>
</Person>
EOF

my $twig = XML::Twig->new;
$twig->parse($string);
my @nodes = $twig->findnodes('/Person/Phones/Phone[@name="cell"]');
my @cellphones_nrs = map { $_->att('number') } @nodes;

say "Cellphone: $cellphones_nrs[-1]" if @cellphones_nrs;

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
