Hi all, I am using PERL and XML::Twig I have made some changes in the xml file( changing the values of the tags). But i cannot write it in the same xml file. If i use parsefile_inplace() the whole xml file got empty. Please find the code below.. 

use XML::Twig;

my $twig= XML::Twig->new(
        pretty_print => 'indented',
        twig_handlers => {
            jdk => sub{ 
            $_->set_text( 'JDK 1.8.0_40' )
            },
            },
        );
$twig->parsefile_inplace( 'nightly.xml', 'bak.*' );
$twig->flush;

[download]
part of xml file 
<jdk>JDK 1.7.0_40</jdk>

[download]
if i use flush command it gives the desired output on cmd... if i use parsefile_inplace command it is emptying the nightly.xml... if i just use parsefile the original file is intact without changing the value i want to change.. My requirement is to edit the value and save it in the same file Thanks in advance.
