Consider using the numerical comparison operators. You're dealing with numbers, so you shouldn't compare them as strings.

Try if ($ParentNodeId > 1) { instead of if ($ParentNodeId gt 1) {. Replace eq with ==.

While I'm here, can I suggest you use a hash for the input data, instead of that long list of variables? First define a list of field names: 
my @field_names = qw/ ParentNodeId NodeId level canode label theme tem
+plate /; # and so on for the rest

Then replace the split line with 
my %attributes;
@attributes{ @field_names } = split /,/, $line;

Then when you set the attributes on the XML::Twig::Elt, you can simply say: 
$esec->set_att( %attributes );
