I am trying to replace one element of XML document with a new element using XML::Twig. The element value file does not change in the player.xml. I am new to this module

Here is the code snippet: 

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

my $twig = XML::Twig->new();
$twig->parsefile( "player.xml");    # build the twig
my $root= $twig->root;
$root->set_tag( 'stats_test');
$root->print;

And the sample XML file(player.xml): 

<stats>
    <player>
        <name>Houston, Allan</name>
        <g>69</g>
        <ppg>20.1</ppg>
        <rpg>3.4</rpg>
        <apg>2.8</apg>
        <blk>14</blk>
    </player>
    <player>
        <name>Sprewell, Latrell</name>
        <g>69</g>
        <ppg>19.2</ppg>
        <rpg>4.5</rpg>
        <apg>4.0</apg>
        <blk>15</blk>
    </player>
    <player>
        <name>Ewing, Patrick</name>
        <g>49</g>
        <ppg>14.6</ppg>
        <rpg>10.0</rpg>
        <apg>1.0</apg>
        <blk>68</blk>
    </player>
    <player>
        <name>Johnson, Larry</name>
        <g>57</g>
        <ppg>11.1</ppg>
        <rpg>5.3</rpg>
        <apg>2.6</apg>
        <blk>7</blk>
    </player>
</stats>
