Parse an XML task list to create each task.xml file

I have an task definition listing xml file that contains a list of tasks such as

Code:
<TASKLIST
    <TASK definition="Completion date" id="Taskname1" Some other 
         <CODE name="Code12" 
               <Parameter pname="Dog" input="5.6" units="feet" etc /Parameter>
               <Parameter pname="Cat" input="cute" units="NA"      /Parameter>
          /CODE>
     /TASK>
<TASK definition="Completion date" id="Taskname2" Some other 
         <CODE name="Code3" 
          /CODE>
         <CODE name="Code2" 
           /CODE>
     /TASK>
/TASKLIST>

I need to parse the task list into seperate task xml files starting from the <TASK tag to the /TASK> tag using the TASK id for the *.xml name.

I have written a grep command to capture all id names and then a sed command along with another grep command to clean up everything except the id leaving me with a list of just Task id names. My code is not eloquant, but works.

Now I am stuck. Please help. I am a novice at Unix scripting.

Padre::Task::Eval(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    Padre::Task::Eval(3pm)

NAME
Padre::Task::Eval - Task for executing arbitrary code via a string eval SYNOPSIS
my $task = Padre::Task::Eval->new( prepare => '1 + 1', run => 'my $foo = sub { 2 + 3 }; $foo->();', finish => '$_[0]->{prepare}', ); $task->prepare; $task->run; $task->finish; DESCRIPTION
Padre::Task::Eval is a stub class used to implement testing and other miscellaneous functionality. It takes three named string parameters matching each of the three execution phases. When each phase of the task is run, the string will be eval'ed and the result will be stored in the same has key as the source string. If the key does not exist at all, nothing will be executed for that phase. Regardless of the execution result (or the non-execution of the phase) each phase will always return true. However, if the string eval throws an exception it will escape the task object (although when run properly inside of a task handle it should be caught by the handle). METHODS
This class contains now additional methods beyond the defaults provided by the Padre::Task API. COPYRIGHT &; LICENSE Copyright 2008-2012 The Padre development team as listed in Padre.pm.
