This is probably dumb, but I'm using XML::Simple to parse a relatively small straightforward document, something like this: 
<data>
    <fields>
     <field name="foo">
        <number>2</number>
        <required>Y</required>
      </field>
       <field name="bar">
        <number>1</number>
        <required>N</required>
      </field>
    </fields>
</data>

Say I have that file, and I just want to open it up, add ten to each number, then save it again with the new numbers, which module should I use and how?

I'm finding it impossible to do with XML::Simple using what I thought would be the correct method, XMLout() and printing to a file, because it rearranges the data, no matter what fiddling I do with forcearray and keyattr options, for instance it will output as: 


<opt>
  <fields name="field">
    <foo required="Y" number="12" />
    <bar required="N" number="11" />
  </fields>
</opt>

Can anyone give me a quick recipe for this? It's late in the day and I'm not thinking straight any more.
