I haven't used XML::Twig for generating XML, and re-skimming its POD I'm not seeing what must be obvious. Can you show me how it might be used to provide XML matching what this creates?

print $fh <<END;
<event>
  <stream-id>$streamid</stream-id>
  <event-name>$streamname</event-name>
    <primary-event>
    <delete-time>$time_t</delete-time>
    </primary-event>
</event>
END

It seems to me the OP has control over what he passes through to the XML output. Template systems (even as simple as a HERE doc) seem to fit the bill, but if there's an XML producer that would simplify this further, it would be interesting to see an example of how such a solution looks.
