Hello Monks,
I have developped a way to add new elements with XML::Simple. I would like to have some suggestion from you guys. Any suggestions or comments are welcome. If you found another way more simple, please let me know.

Here the code: 
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Simple;
use DATA::Dumper;

#Variable

my $counter = 0;
my $countertrans = 0;

my $file = (\*DATA);

my $arrays = [qw/trans item status assignee/];
my $opt = XMLin($file, keyattr => 1, forcearray => $arrays);

my $id = 'maxis';
my $lastid = 'legas';

foreach my $trans (@{$opt->{'trans'}}) 
{
    my $transs = $opt->{'trans'}[$countertrans]{'kool'};
    
    if ($transs eq 'max') 
    {
        foreach my $item (@{$trans->{'item'}}) 
        {
            my $currentid = $opt->{'trans'}[0]{'item'}[0]{'id'};
        
            $counter++;

            if ($lastid eq $currentid) 
            {
                $opt->{'trans'}[$countertrans]{'item'}[$counter]{'id'}
+ = $id || die "Error!!";
                $opt->{'trans'}[$countertrans]{'item'}[$counter]{'stat
+us'} [0]= 'con' || die "Error!!";
                $opt->{'trans'}[$countertrans]{'item'}[$counter]{'assi
+gnee'}[0] = 'Jill' || die "Error";
                print "My cuurent ID is $currentid, $item counter is $
+counter\n";
                print "ID is $id\n";
                print XMLout($opt);
                exit 1;
            }
        
        }
    
    }
    
  print "$trans";
  $countertrans++

}

print "Nothing";


__DATA__
<opt>
 <trans kool="max">
  <item id="legas">
    <status>contacted</status>
    <assignee>jack</assignee>
  </item>
 </trans>
 <trans kool ="kool">
  <item id="gas">
    <status>contacted</status>
    <assignee>jack</assignee>
  </item>
 </trans>
</opt>
