I am trying to divide a xml file(my.xml) like this:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Proto PName="hmmmmmmm">
     <Menu id="A" ver="1">
         <P>
             <P name="AA" Type="X"/>
             <P name="BB" Type="Y"/>
             <P name="CC" Type="Z"/>
         </P>
         <main>
             <K name="DD" type="X"/>
             <K name="EE" type="Y"/>
         </main>
     </Menu>
    <Menu id="B" ver="1">
        <P>
            <P name="XX" Type="X"/>
            <P name="BB" Type="Y"/>
            <P name="CC" Type="Z"/>
        </P>
        <main>
            <K name="DD" type="X"/>
            <K name="EE" type="Y"/>
        </main>
    </Menu>
    <Menu id="C" ver="1">
         <P>
             <P name="ZZ" Type="X"/>
             <P name="BB" Type="Y"/>
             <P name="CC" Type="Z"/>
         </P>
         <main>
             <K name="DD" type="X"/>
             <K name="EE" type="Y"/>
         </main>
     </Menu>
</Proto>

I am trying to get 3 files out of the above. .i.e.

Code:

$ cat my.A.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Proto PName="hmmmmmmm">
    <Menu id="A" ver="1">
        <P>
            <P name="AA" Type="X"/>
            <P name="BB" Type="Y"/>
            <P name="CC" Type="Z"/>
        </P>
        <main>
            <K name="DD" type="X"/>
            <K name="EE" type="Y"/>
        </main>
    </Menu>
</Proto>


$ cat my.B.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Proto PName="hmmmmmmm">
    <Menu id="B" ver="1">
        <P>
            <P name="XX" Type="X"/>
            <P name="BB" Type="Y"/>
            <P name="CC" Type="Z"/>
        </P>
        <main>
            <K name="DD" type="X"/>
            <K name="EE" type="Y"/>
        </main>
    </Menu>
</Proto>

and similarly my.C.xml

I tried this: 

$ awk '/<Menu id=/,/<\/Menu>/' my.xml

is there any way available other than perl for this xml processing.
