This should do more or less what you want:

use strict;
use warnings;

use XML::Twig;

my %self2pnam; # Self => pnam for all color elements

my $twig=XML::Twig->new(                 # create self2pnam
                        twig_handlers=>{ color => sub { $self2pnam{$_-
+>att('Self')}= $_->att( 'pnam'); } },
                        pretty_print => 'indented',
                        );
$twig->parse(\*DATA);

# now we can process the content elements
foreach my $content ($twig->root->children( 'content'))
  { my $box= $content->prev_elt( 'box[@type="text"]');
    $content->set_tag( 'updated_tag')
            ->del_atts
            ->set_att( Color => $self2pnam{$box->att( 'frameColorID')}
+)
            ;
  }

$twig->print;
