XML::Twig inserting a new element, not first or last

Hello esteemed monks, I'm learning XML::Twig and have not been able to figure out how to insert an element in a particular location other that first_child or last_child. For example, here is my XML source:

<concept>
 <title>My Title</title>
 <prolog>some other info</prolog>
</concept>
[download]

I want to insert a new element "short_desc" in between "title" and "prolog". How do I do that?

I can do this using first_child and last_child thusly:

 my($twig,$con) = @_;
 $con->insert_new_elt('first_child','short_desc' =>{ AAA => 'hello'});
[download]

which results in

<short_desc AAA="hello"/>
<title>Bat sonar</title>
<prolog>some other info</prolog>
[download]

but what I want is:

<title>Bat sonar</title>
<short_desc AAA="hello"/>
<prolog>some other info</prolog>
[download]

Any pointers appreciated. I have been scanning the Twig doc but am not sure what to look for. I see mention of $opt_position but this is not defined anywhere. (The xml twig site seems to have been dead for a while...)

Thank you -- Scott

Scan for the "position options" and you will find `before`, `after` and `within`. لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The xml twig site seems to have been dead for a while... Are you sure? xmltwig.org should be working fine.	[reply]


Do you know where your variables are?
