That's something I'd like to have in a class. 
package ChargeTypeXML;

sub new
{
  my $class = shift;
  my %args  = shift;
  
  my $ref = XMLin($args->{file}, KeyAttr => { charge => "code"});

  my %hash =
    map { ($_, $ref->{charge}->{$_}->{name}) } keys %{$ref->{charge}};
  $ref = \%hash;

  bless $ref, $class;
  return $ref;
}

sub toXML
{
  print qq{<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>\n};
  print qq{<charge-type-control>\n};
  for keys ( %{$self} )
  {
    print qq{<charge code="$_" name="}, $self->{$_}, qq{frtamt"/>\n};
  }
  print qq{</charge-type-control>};
}

1;

#in the script:
use ChargeTypeXML;
my $xml = ChargeTypeXML->new (file=>"xmlfile");

Of course this only works, when all "codes" in the xml are unique.

Note: untested
