It's not clear to me what you are trying to achieve here (assigning a hash ref to an array doesn't make sense), but the following may help:

use warnings;
use strict;
use XML::Twig;
use Data::Dump::Streamer;

my $xml = <<XML;
<config>
  <computer id="one" type="mac" os="XP" >
        <lease true="yes" />

Perl reduces RSI - it saves typing

I thought i replied back but don't see my message so retyping
first I really appreciate you writing back as I learn lot from you and also, perhaps I am still not writing my intention as best as I should(more example and code and clear explanation
but I am trying very hard. I will give your solution more hack to see if I can make them do what I ultimately trying to go

I am also trying out cookbook solution of

my @nodes = $doc->findnodes("/books/book/authors/author/
                          firstname[text()='Tom']/../
                          lastname[text()='Chris']/
                         ../../../title/text()");

for my $node (@nodes) {
             print $node->data, "\n";
}
