eh, i was trying the same solution but with the code below (your's) and with my attempt too i get not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1, column 29, byte 29 at.. tht seems to be the comment.
If i entirely remove the comment it runs fine. i'm playng with comments => "process" as the authors said, but with no luck.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use XML::Twig;

# at most one div will be loaded in memory
  my $twig=XML::Twig->new(
    twig_handlers =>
    { channel => sub {
        my( $node )= @_;
        my( $id )= $node->{'att'}->{id};
        my( $chan )= $node->{'att'}->{chan};
        my( $sign )= $node->text;
        print qq(UPDATE channel SET channum="$chan",xmltvid="$id" WHER
+E callsign="$sign");

        $node->purge;
      },
    },
  );
  $twig->parse(<DATA>);
