Just getting used to this (still not sure what differentiates a 'node' from an 'element', but that's something else).
After misreading the Doc for a bit and wondering why my added sheet always came AFTER and not 'before' as I expected I realised my mistake and fixed it.
$new_sheet = $doc->replicateElement($sheet,$sheet,position => 'before');
But looking at the code, there's scope for a trivial simplification that would make life for simple sods like me much easier.... (seeing that 'sheet' is referenced twice, once for the copy, and once for the location).
So with a small change to XPath.pm I can now write (with the same result) ...
# $new_sheet = $doc->replicateElement($sheet,'before');
Here's the diff code...
relative to the following version...

Hope you can make use of this.
