One more question:

Why did you use
&resetxml; instead of resetxml();
?

I know the former doesn't pass an empty @_ array for the called sub but passes the existing argument list. But you don't do anything with @_ in resetxml(). So why bother passing the current arguments list on to it?

I imagine that the author didn't intend that effect of calling the subroutine that way. I suspect it's a matter of laziness. FWIW,

        resetxml();

or

        resetxml(@_);   # if necessary

are both many,  many times preferable to:

        &resetxml;

and the latter is generally shunned by experienced, community-minded Perl folk. I'd suggest applying the patch with this tidied up as appropriate.
