Somewhere in the data, there's an EDI_DC40 element that doesn't have all the child nodes. You need to check whether the child exists before calling a method on it:
my @values = map { my $ch = $thingy->first_child( $_ ); $ch ? $ch->text : "" } qw( DOCNUM MESTYP SNDPRN RCVPOR RCVPRN );

Also, as I mentioned, you probably don't need to create a new Twig and CSV objects for each file. Declaring the sub inside the loop makes no sense, either.

#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Text::CSV_XS; use XML::Twig; my $csv = 'Text::CSV_XS'->new({ sep_char => '|', }); sub process_EDI_DC40 { my ($twig, $thingy) = @_; my @values = map { my $ch = $thingy->first_child( $_ ); $ch ? $ch->text : "" } qw( DOCNUM MESTYP SNDPRN RCVPOR RCVPRN ); $csv->say(*STDOUT, \@values); } my $listfile = shift; open my $list, '<', $listfile or die $!; my $twig = 'XML::Twig'->new( twig_handlers => { EDI_DC40 => \&process_EDI_DC40, }, ); while (my $xmlfile = <$list>) { chomp $xmlfile; $twig->parsefile($xmlfile); }
