+ue is cde.

<?xml version='1.0'?>

<root>

  <test>

my $tag_text=$ARGV[4];

my $twig = XML::Twig->new(twig_roots => {$tag_name =>  \&select_change
+},
               );


$twig->parsefile_inplace($xml);

$twig->flush;


sub select_change

{

    my($twig,$tag_name)=@_;

    if ($tag_name->att('$att_name') =~ "$att_value")

    {

        $tag_name->set_text('$tag_text');
