1. I have added child element using the below code and i need to add again child or descendants to the root tag. how can i do this?
2. First step i am changing the "indd_document" element to "docuemnt". i have a doubt here the xml::twig now recognize "docuemnt" or "indd_docuemnt" for my second twig_roots for update_header. Please suggest 

use strict;
use warnings;

use XML::Parser;
use XML::Twig;

my $twig=XML::Twig->new(
                        twig_roots=>{
                                                                     i
+ndd_document=>\&update_root,

                                    'document/header'=>\&update_header
+,
                                    },
                        );
$twig->parsefile( $xmlfile);
open(FH,">output.xml") or die "cannot open output.xml: $!";
my $temp = $twig->toString;
print FH $temp;
close (FH);

$twig->purge;
}
sub update_root
{
my ($t, $root) = @_;
$root->insert_new_elt(first_child => header => {type=>"layout"});
$root->set_tag( 'document');
}

sub update_header
{
my ($t, $header)=@_;
$header->insert_new_elt(first_child => headerfield => {type=>"layout"}
+);
}
