Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply. First thing I noticed is that this script is taking little long time to process my file(size 200mb). I have about 10 to 20 files to process like this and I am afraid it might take several minutes process. Secondly, I thouhgt, if we remove extra new line characters, the size of the result file should be less than or equal to the original size, but I see the resulted file size being increased than original size. Thirdly, can you please explain me on your command what exactly is each command doing?
Thanks
Rao

xml::writer::simple
XML::Writer::Simple(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation XML::Writer::Simple(3pm)
NAME
XML::Writer::Simple - Create XML files easily!
SYNOPSIS
use XML::Writer::Simple dtd => "file.dtd";
print xml_header(encoding => 'iso-8859-1');
print para("foo",b("bar"),"zbr");
# if you want CGI but you do not want CGI :)
use XML::Writer::Simple ':html';
USAGE
This module takes some ideas from CGI to make easier the life for those who need to generated XML code. You can use the module in three
flavours (or combine them):
tags
When importing the module you can specify the tags you will be using:
use XML::Writer::Simple tags => [qw/p b i tt/];
print p("Hey, ",b("you"),"! ", i("Yes ", b("you")));
that will generate
<p>Hey <b>you</b>! <i>Yes <b>you</b></i></p>
dtd You can supply a DTD, that will be analyzed, and the tags used:
use XML::Writer::Simple dtd => "tmx.dtd";
print tu(seg("foo"),seg("bar"));
xml You can supply an XML (or a reference to a list of XML files). They will be parsed, and the tags used:
use XML::Writer::Simple xml => "foo.xml";
print foo("bar");
partial
You can supply an 'partial' key, to generate prototypes for partial tags construction. For instance:
use XML::Writer::Simple tags => qw/foo bar/, partial => 1;
print start_foo;
print ...
print end_foo;
You can also use tagsets, where sets of tags from a well known format are imported. For example, to use HTML:
use XML::Writer::Simple ':html';
EXPORT
This module export one function for each element at the dtd or xml file you are using. See below for details.
FUNCTIONS
import
Used when you 'use' the module, should not be used directly.
xml_header
This function returns the xml header string, without encoding definition, with a trailing new line. Default XML encoding should be UTF-8,
by the way.
You can force an encoding passing it as argument:
print xml_header(encoding=>'iso-8859-1');
powertag
Used to specify a powertag. For instance:
powertag("ul","li");
ul_li([qw/foo bar zbr ugh/]);
will generate
<ul>
<li>foo</li>
<li>bar</li>
<li>zbr</li>
<li>ugh</li>
</ul>
You can also supply this information when loading the module, with
use XML::Writer::Simple powertags=>["ul_li","ol_li"];
Powertags support three level tags as well:
use XML::Writer::Simple powertags=>["table_tr_td"];
print table_tr_td(['a','b','c'],['d','e','f']);
