I am just going through all XML::Twig posts and ran to this one and was just testing out the code.. 
use strict;
use warnings;

use XML::Twig;

my $xml = <<XML
<foo>
   <bar>
      <bay V="A" />
      <baz V="B" />
   </bar>
</foo>
XML

my $t = XML::Twig->new
(
  twig_handlers => { '/foo/bar' => sub
      {
         my $bay = $_->first_child('bay');
         my $baz = $_->first_child('baz');

         print $bay->att("V");
         print $baz->att("V");
       }
   }
);

$t->parse ($xml);
