Accessing content:encoded in XML file

I have an XML file I'm trying to parse with XML::LibXML in Perl. I have:

use XML::LibXML;
my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();
print "READING: $this_path/feed_france.xml \n";
my $dom = $parser->parse_file("$this_path/feed_france.xml");

# Find all "item" elements inside the "channel" element
my @items = $dom->findnodes('/rss/channel/item');


# Loop through each item and extract the title, company, and pubDate
foreach my $item (@items) {
    my $title = $item->findvalue('title');
    my $company = $item->findvalue('company');
    my $pubDate = $item->findvalue('pubDate');
    my $summary = $item->findvalue('description');
    my $description = $item->findvalue('content:encoded'); # full
    my $company = $item->findvalue('company');
    my $guid = $item->findvalue('guid');
    my $link = $item->findvalue('link');
}

And a trimmed down version of the XML in question:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rss version="2.0"
    xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
    xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
    xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
    xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
    xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/"
    xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/"

I can't seem to access the content:encoded bit via:

$item->findvalue('content:encoded')

Am I doing it wrong? I've tried looking on the manpage but can't see anything- I just assumed its the same as accessing any other tag, but maybe not? I'm sure I'm just being dumb and missing something glaringly obvious!
