based on toolics last post How would I extract the XML name and description from the xml below using XML::Twig:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<install type="module" version="1.0.0">
    <name>TEST</name>
    <desription>This is a test</desription>
    <notebook_tabs>
        <tab index="1">Create
            <button 
            internal_name="test1" 
            parent="-1" 
            text="button 1" 
            x_coordinate="5" 
            y_coordinate="5" 
            x_size="-1" 
            y_size="-1" 
            evt_1="EVT_BUTTON" 
            evt_1_function="testclick" />

            <button 
            internal_name="test2" 
            parent="-1" 
            text="button 2" 
            x_coordinate="50" 
            y_coordinate="50" 
            x_size="-1" 
            y_size="-1" 
            evt_1="EVT_BUTTON" 
            evt_1_function="testclick2" />

        </tab>
        <tab index="2">Assign</tab>
    </notebook_tabs>
</install>

I've tried using the code below:

use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Twig;
use Data::Dumper;

my $xfile = <<EOF;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<install type="module" version="1.0.0">
    <name>TEST</name>
    <desription>This is a test</desription>
    <notebook_tabs>
        <tab index="1">Create
            <button 
            internal_name="test1" 
            parent="-1" 
            text="button 1" 
            x_coordinate="5" 
            y_coordinate="5" 
            x_size="-1" 
            y_size="-1" 
            evt_1="EVT_BUTTON" 
            evt_1_function="testclick" />

            <button 
            internal_name="test2" 
            parent="-1" 
            text="button 2" 
            x_coordinate="50" 
            y_coordinate="50" 
            x_size="-1" 
            y_size="-1" 
            evt_1="EVT_BUTTON" 
            evt_1_function="testclick2" />

        </tab>
        <tab index="2">Assign</tab>
    </notebook_tabs>
</install>
EOF

my $t= new XML::Twig();
$t->parse($xfile);
my $install = $t->root();
print "NAME: " . $install->first_child('name') . "\n";
}

but all I get is the entire XML data, what am I doing wrong?
