You have lots of mistakes, what examples are you following? 

$in_twig->parsefile('in.xml'); # ERROR, out of order
$in_twig = XML::Twig->new( # ERROR, obliterating $in_twig
                  twig_roots => { violation => 1 }, ## ERROR, 1 is not
+ a callback
                  twig_handlers => { ## um, this goes in twig_roots
                   violation => sub { processViolation( $in_twig, $_, 
+\%out_twigs, \%opt );
                  }

I suggest you add strict/warnings ( Read this if you want to cut your development time in half! ) and copy one of these examples ?node_id=3989;BIT=use%20XML%3A%3ATwig;BIS=-;a=%5BAnonymous%20Monk%5D;xr=1, http://xmltwig.org/tutorial/, http://xmltwig.org/article
