I'm trying to add elements to XML using XML::LibXML. I know how to add elements, but I'm having a hard time trying to go to lower levels of the elements. For instance:

---- ORIGINAL FILE ---- 
<dict>
        <key>TEST1</key>
        <key>TEST2</key>
        <string>en</string>
        <key>TEST3</key>

</dict>

---- RESULTS I WANT ---- 
<dict>
        <key>ADDKEY</key>
        <array>
              <dict>
                  <key>SAMPLEKEY</key>
                  <array>
                       <string>STRING</string>
                  </array>
              </dict>
        </array>

        <key>TEST1</key>
        <string>en</string>
        <key>TEST2</key>

</dict>

I'd also like to add it before the TEST1 key. The results I get from below is that it appends it to the end of the 'dict' element.

---- WHAT I HAVE SO FAR ---- 
use strict;
use warnings;

use XML::LibXML;

  # load
  open my $fh, '<', 'test.xml';
  binmode $fh; # drop all PerlIO layers possibly created by a use open
+ pragma
  my $doc = XML::LibXML->load_xml(IO => $fh);
  my $root=$doc->getDocumentElement();

  # Grabs the 'dict' element
  my $rootElement = pop(@{$root>getElementsByTagName('dict')});

my $keyElement= $doc->createElement("key");
$keyElement->appendText('Test');

$rootElement->appendChild($keyElement);

  # save
  open my $out, '>', 'out.xml';
  binmode $out; 
  $doc->toFH($out);
