Here is the updated code,

the reason why it didn't work in the first phase is that, input format was different, there were no 'line feeds' in the sample file provided.

Now it should work!

Let us know how it proceeds!

Code:
#! /opt/third-party/bin/perl

my $c = 0;

open(FILE, "<", "sample.txt");

while(<FILE>) {
  chomp;
    my @arr = split(/></);
    foreach (@arr) {
    if( /xml version/ ) {
      $c++;
      print "\n";
    }
    if( />/ && /</ ) {
      if( $c == 1 ) {
        s/(.*)>(.*)<.*$/\1|\2/;
        my($tmp1, $tmp2) = split(/\|/);
        $data .= (" " . $tmp2);
        printf "%s ", $tmp1;
      }
      else {
        s/(.*)>(.*)<.*$/\2/;
        printf "%s ", $_;
      }
    }
  }
  print "\n";
  print "$data\n" if( /xml version/i );
}

close(FILE);

exit 0
