Hi everyone, I'm new here, and I'm trying to teach myself XML::Twig for a project at work. I'm having a bit of trouble with the paste() method though--it seems to paste an element 1.5 times. Here's what I mean: 
my $root = XML::Twig::Elt->new('root');

my $tag = 'tag';
my $content = 'content';
my $next = XML::Twig::Elt->new($tag, $content);
$next->paste('last_child', $root);

my $element = $root;
while($element = $element->next_elt() ) {
    $element->print;
    print "\n";
}

The output of this is: 
<tag>content</tag>
content

[download]
when it should just be 
<tag>content</tag>

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here to cause this? Thank you! Jezzica85
