I played with your XML in XML::XSH2. It has a shell/REPL, so it's easy to discover the correct XPath expressions there by trial and error. It's a wrapper around XML::LibXML where you can use the same XPath expressions if speed is your concern.
open file.xml ; for /DatatoParse/elt/Nest1/elt/Nest2/elt { my $top = ancestor::elt[last()] ; echo :s $top/d1 , $top/d2 , (d5/X) , (d5/Y) , (d6/X) , (d6/Y) , (N +est3/Nest4/d7/d9/d10/d11) ; }

Output:
