I found the create_element function really useful, have added a slight modification to the above function to handle keys that are in turn array references 
sub create_element
{
  my $gi = shift;
  my $data = shift;
  my $node = XML::Twig::Elt->new($gi);

  if (ref $data eq "HASH")
  {
    while (my ($key, $value) = each(%$data))
    {
      if (ref $value eq "ARRAY")
      {
        for my $i (@$value)
        {
          createXmlTree($key, $i)->paste(last_child => $node);
        }
      }
      else
      {
        createXmlTree($key, $value)->paste(last_child => $node);
      }
    }
  }
  else
  {
    $node->set_text($data);
  }

  $node;
};
