I am trying to get list of ancestors for an element using xml-twig. I have array containing a string in each element like shown in string variable as follows. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Twig;

my $string = "\n  <files name=\"Common.h\">\n    <enums>\n      <membe
+rs kind=\"enum\" name=\"PermissionLevel\" protection=\"public\" stati
+c=\"no\" virtualness=\"non_virtual\">\n        <values initializer=\"
+ 99\" name=\"PERMISSION_PUBLIC\"></values>\n        <values initializ
+er=\" 98\" name=\"PERMISSION_NDA\"></values>\n      </members>\n     
+ <members kind=\"enum\" name=\"RegisterType\" protection=\"public\" s
+tatic=\"no\" virtualness=\"non_virtual\">\n        <values initialize
+r=\" 4\" name=\"REGISTER_PCI\"></values>\n      </members>\n    </enu
+ms>\n    <functions>\n      <members const=\"no\" kind=\"function\" n
+ame=\"Compare\" protection=\"public\" static=\"no\" type=\"bool\" vir
+tualness=\"non_virtual\" volatile=\"no\">\n        <parameters declar
+ation_name=\"first\" type=\"T\"/>\n        <parameters declaration_na
+me=\"second\" type=\"T\"/>\n      </members>\n    </functions>\n  </f
+iles>";
print $string;

my $twig = XML::Twig->new;
$twig->parse( $string );

my @names = $twig->ancestors('values');
print @names;

For example, for values element I would like to get list that tells me values element is in members element which is in enums element, etc. I get error cannot locate object method ancestors.
