...eval block to catch this, but I was wondering if there was a better way.
From the XML::Twig docs:

safe_parse ( SOURCE [, OPT => OPT_VALUE ...])

This method is similar to parse except that it wraps the parsing in an eval block. It returns the twig on success and 0 on failure (the twig object also contains the parsed twig). $@ contains the error message on failure.

Note that the parsing still stops as soon as an error is detected, there is no way to keep going after an error.
