Update an XML node value based on one of the attribute values.	Can't Post

I have to update the value of a node by based on the value of one of its attributes.

<ReferenceID referenceIDType="FXDD">FXDDILN233</ReferenceID>
For the above Tag.
i want to edit the value FXDDILN233 based on the attribute value referenceIDType="FXDD"

I tried the below code:

Code

my $nodeset = $doc->findnodes("//*[name()='ReferenceID']"); 
  foreach my $node ($nodeset->get_nodelist) {  
   if ($node->hasAttribute("referenceIDType") == XML::LibXML::Boolean->True) { 
    $RetVal = $node->getAttributeNode("referenceIDType")->getValue(); 
 if ($RetVal eq "FXDD") { 
 print "Attribute VAL=@@@@@@@@@@@@"."$RetVal \n"; 
  $node->setData("$NodeVal"); 
 } 
    
   } 
  }  
Code But getting error on the setData line.. 
Whats is it that could be wrong ? 
Thanks in advance.

I found the solution.

Code

my $nodeset = $doc->findnodes("//*[name()='ReferenceID']");  
  foreach my $node ($nodeset->get_nodelist) {   
   if ($node->hasAttribute("referenceIDType") == XML::LibXML::Boolean->True) {  
    $RetVal = $node->getAttributeNode("referenceIDType")->getValue();  
 if ($RetVal eq "FXDD") {  
 print "Attribute VAL=@@@@@@@@@@@@"."$RetVal \n";  
  $node->firstChild->setData("blah blah"); [\b] 
 }  
     
   }  
  }
