If you're open to another way of parsing XML, XML::Twig is a good choice. I added a top-level element to your XML snippet: 
use warnings;
use strict;
use XML::Twig;

my $xmlstr = <<EOF;
<top>
  <COMPLETE>
    <T>test</T>
    <L>light</L>
    <INFO>information</INFO>
  </COMPLETE>

   <COMPLETE>
     <T>test</T>
     <L>light</L>
     <INFO>informa</INFO>
  </COMPLETE>
</top>
EOF

my $twig = XML::Twig->new(
    twig_handlers => {INFO => sub {$_->delete()}},
    pretty_print  => 'indented'
);
$twig->parse($xmlstr);
$twig->print();

__END__

<top>
  <COMPLETE>
    <T>test</T>
    <L>light</L>
  </COMPLETE>
  <COMPLETE>
    <T>test</T>
    <L>light</L>
  </COMPLETE>
</top>
