ramya2005 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Perl Monks,

I am using XML::Twig to parse an XML file. At the end of parsing/editing the XML string is stored as a scalar. I want to generate/save a new xml file. Is there any in-built function in XML::Twig which create the XML file using the content of the scalar?
Any pointers will be much appreciated! 
$Tree = new XML::Twig();
$Tree -> parsefile($TemplateName);
$Tree -> print;

    looking at XML::Twig POD, the print ($optional_filehandle, %options) method can take a filehandle.. so this should work: 
    $captureTemplateTree = new XML::Twig();
$captureTemplateTree->parsefile($captureTemplateName);
open my $fh, "/tmp/out.xml";
$captureTemplateTree->print( $fh );

        But, we need to manually reload the document ? How can we save the document and reload the document as my application is still running.
