Hello Monks,
How do I parse multiple xml files with xml::twig?
I am sure I'm missing something really obvious here but i have read and reread the twig documentation, googled and perlmonked and I cant discover why when I run this only file2.xml gets parsed.
How can I 'reset' the twig to parse the next file? has anyone else experience this sort of problem and if so how did you solve it? thanks,;+) 
@xmlfiles = qw(file1.xml file2.xml);


foreach my $xfile (@xmlfiles)
{  

 $twig = new XML::Twig(
                         twig_roots =>  {
                        'pdb_entry/pdb_code' => \&pdb_entry,
                        'pdb_entry/total_asm' => \&pdb_entry,
                        'pdb_entry/asm_set/assembly' => \&assembly,});


    &parse_twig($xfile);
 
 }


sub parse_twig
{
   my $file = shift;
 
   if ($twig->safe_parsefile($file) == 0)
   {
      die "Failed to parse $file: $@";
   }

   my $root = $twig->root;
   my @params = $root->children('pdb_entry');
   $twig->purge;
   $twig->dispose;
}

...
