I've written above code to modify the contents of my xml file. but when I tried to create new elements named "item" and "data" it showed me an error : can't locate object method "createElement" via package XML::DOM::ELEMENT. how can I get rid of this problem? any suggestions? it is giving me an output window of Joey 67890 4 and then an error pops up which I just mentioned above

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");
         $address->setAttribute("flags","4");
         my $temp1=$address->getAttribute("name");
         my $temp2=$address->getAttribute("id");
         my $temp3=$address->getAttribute("flags");
         print("$temp1\n\n");
         print("$temp2\n\n");
         print("$temp3\n\n");
         my $temp_item=$root->createElement("item");
         my $temp_data=$root->createElement("data");
         my $child1=$address->appendChild($temp_item);
         $child1->setAttribute("used","1");
         $child1->setAttribute("order","0");
         my $g=$child1->getAttribute("used");
         my $h=$child1->getAttribute("order");
         print("$g\t$h\n");
         my $child2=$child1->appendChild($temp_data);
         $child2->setAttribute("typeid","4");
         my $k=$child2->getAttribute("typeid");
         print("$k\n");
         }
    }

}
$doc->setXMLDecl($doc->createXMLDecl('1.0','UTF-8'));
$doc->printToFile("C:/perl/perl_tests/xmlin2.xml");
$doc->dispose;
