Hi, I would like to replace the top id of my xml file. But somehow I did not even success to get it. My code below works for other child nodes but not the id. Need help.

Here is my xml file:

<header>
    <idset id="100">                            
        <a>item_a</a>
        <b>item_b</b>
    </idset>
</header>

[download]
Here is my code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';
use XML::LibXML;

my $file = 'test.xml';
#my $node;
my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();
my $doc = $parser->load_xml(location => $file);

my($object11) = $doc->findnodes('/header/idset');
say 'a: ',$object11->findvalue('./a');
say 'b: ',$object11->findvalue('./b');
say 'id: ',$object11->findvalue('./id');

[download]

Current Result:

a: item_a

b: item_b

id:

Expecting Result:

a: item_a

b: item_b

id: 100
