Okay, Got your point. I should write the contents into my xml file to see the changes. I tried this and gave me an error : can't call method "getEncoding" on an undefined value ... 

MODIFIED CODE :
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use XML::DOM;

my $parser=new XML::DOM::Parser;

my $doc=$parser->parsefile('C:\perl\perl_tests\xmlin.xml') or die$!;
my $root=$doc->getDocumentElement();

my @address=$root->getElementsByTagName("address");

foreach my $address(@address)
{
    if($address->getAttribute("name") eq "tayal")
    {
        if($address->getAttribute("id")=='70889')
        {
         $address->setAttribute("name","Joey");
         $address->setAttribute("id","67890");
         my $temp1=$address->getAttribute("name");
         my $temp2=$address->getAttribute("id");
         print("$temp1\t$temp2\n\n");
         }
    }
}
open(INFILE,">C:/perl/perl_tests/xmlin2.xml");

$doc->printToFile("C:/perl/perl_tests/xmlin2.xml");

$doc->dispose;
close(INFILE);
