Which version of GIFT are you using? We need to know this so that we can 
work out what is on line 796 of your gift-add-collection.pl.

Well, that's an error in using a Perl package. Looking at 
http://search.cpan.org/~tjmather/XML-DOM-1.44/lib/XML/DOM/Attr.pod, it 
seems that XML::DOM::Attr indeed does not have a method getAttribute. 
Nor does it inherit one from XML::DOM::Node (according to 
http://search.cpan.org/~tjmather/XML-DOM-1.44/lib/XML/DOM/Node.pod). It 
*is* a method of XML::DOM::Element though (see 
http://search.cpan.org/~tjmather/XML-DOM-1.44/lib/XML/DOM/Element.pod).

My guess would be that somehow an object of the wrong type is being 
generated - an XML::DOM::Attr object rather than a XML::DOM::Element 
object. We need to know your version information though so we can look 
at the right version of gift-add-collection.pl.
