Monks, I have some problem in my coding.

I have the following xml as a input and in that i just want to change the 'title' element with 'tit' everywhere except second sub level title, in the below example it is the title that contains 'second sub level', which should not be changed.

For the above job i tried using ignore_elts method but it converts all the title into tit and when i saw the output it is missing, but i just want the text back in the ouput as i shown below. How to do this?

use strict;
use XML::Twig;

my $sel = 'title';
my $ign = 'title/title/title';
my $twig = XML::Twig->new(
ignore_elts => { "$ign" => 1},
twig_handlers => { "$sel" => \&title},
pretty_print => 'indented'
);

$twig->parsefile('1.xml');

$twig->print;

sub title
{
    my ($twig, $tit) = @_;
    
    $tit->set_gi('tit');
    
}
