Dear User's:

I need to do some XML processing for my project. It is difficult to explain the actual requirement, so I will give an example. I am using XML::Twig for parsing and editing.

I have the following hash available to me.
%color = {'apple' => 'red', 'mango' => 'green'}

I have an XML file like the one below: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Fruits>
   <Fruit name='apple'/>
   <Fruit name='orange'/>
   <Fruit name='mango'/>
   <Fruit name='Pineapple'/>
</Fruits>

[download]
Given the XML and Hash I should provide something like this. 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Fruits>
   <Fruit name='apple'/>
   <Fruit name='mango'/>
</Fruits>

[download]
That means I should retain only the fruits whose name is same as the keys in hash %color.

Please help with an XML::twig solution, because I have used it for XML parsing already. If it is not possible with XML::Twig please suggest a new solution.
