Considering the data you need, there is no way for you to avoid storing the phone numbers, then outputing them when you find the reason. You could leave the elements (and just these elements) in the tree though, by using twig_roots to get the twig built only for them:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Twig;
XML::Twig->new( # the twig will only contain PHONENO/ENTRY and REASON/
+ENTRY elements
# (plus the root or it would not be a tree)
twig_roots => { 'BL_USER/PHONENO/ENTRY' => 1,
+
'BL_DPLI_RECORD/REASON/ENTRY' => \&rea
+son,
}
)
->parsefile( 'phone_data.xml');
sub reason
{ my( $t, $reason)= @_;
foreach my $phone_no ($reason->prev_siblings)
{ print $phone_no->text, ";", $reason->text, "\n"; }
$t->purge;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
