I have a xml file like this(pasted only a part of the xml) 
<bitrate name="1000">
                        <track type="V">
        
                                <range>
                                        <rangeStartTime>1261287</range
+StartTime>
                                        <rangeEndTime>1324271</rangeEn
+dTime>

                                </range>
                                <range>
                                        <rangeStartTime>1324282</range

+ime>
                                        
                                </range>

I want to extract the value of 1st rangeStartTime 
my $twig =  XML::Twig->new(
                        twig_roots => { "bitrate[\@name=\"1000\"]/trac
+k[\@type=\"V\"]/range[1]/rangeStartTime" => \&update,  },
               )
           ->parse($filename);
print $value;
sub update {
    my ($twig, $server) = @_;
        $value= $server->text;
}

This gives me the 2nd rangeStartTime in the xml.

If i use the xpath like 
"bitrate[\@name=\"1000\"]/track[\@type=\"V\"]/range[position() = 1]/ra
+ngeStartTime"

[download]
I get an error 
"unrecognized expression in handler: 'bitrate[@name="1000"]/track[@typ
+e="V"]/range[position() = 1]/rangeStartTime' at try16.pl line 35"

I tried to use findnode() also 
my $count = $t->findnodes("bitrate[\@name=\"1000\"]/track[\@type=\"V\"
+]/range[position() = 1]/rangeStartTime");

[download]
It gives error like this 
error in xpath expression bitrate[@name="1000"]/track[@type="V"]/range
+[position() = 1]/rangeStartTime at position() = 1 at /usr/share/perl5
+/XML/Twig.pm line 3085
