Use an XML-aware library to handle XML. 
use XML::LibXML;

my $dom = 'XML::LibXML'->load_xml(location => 'file.xml');
my $digits = $dom->findvalue('//stlib:mem_bit');
print $digits, "\n";

To do it correctly, you should register the namespace, but you haven't provided its definition, so I can't show you exactly how to do it. Let's say the whole XML file look like this: 

<r xmlns:stlib="http://stlib.xml.ns">
  <ch>
    <stlib:mem_bit>72</stlib:mem_bit>
  </ch>
</r>

The correct XML namespace handling code would be 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

use XML::LibXML;

my $dom = 'XML::LibXML'->load_xml(location => '1.xml');
my $xpc = 'XML::LibXML::XPathContext'->new;
$xpc->registerNs(s => 'http://stlib.xml.ns');
my $digits = $xpc->findvalue('//s:mem_bit', $dom);
print $digits, "\n"
