        $t->parsefile( 'doc.xml');
        $t->print;

        my $t= XML::Twig->new( TwigHandlers => { section => \&flush});
        $t->parsefile( 'doc.xml');
        $t->flush;
        sub flush { $_[0]->flush; }
    
    sub-tree mode 
        # print all title's in the document
        my $t= XML::Twig->new( TwigRoots => { title => 1 },
                               TwigHandlers => { title => \&list});
