Hi yazu,

Really appreciate for your post. Thanks a lot for your answer and thoughts.

Code:
The simplest way is to read the whole file in array, split it to four  parts, process then and write the result in the output file. Because  it's really simple and quick then perhaps you should do it in that way.  There are a lot of things in the world else you can do or improve or  learn.

yes you are correct. I did tried the logic to save the entire file into an array and then tried to divide the parts.

But I was struck to do the following points Inside the script:
1) How to write the footer information into the goodfile inside the perl script.
2) Thought of using a counter to calculate the number of lines and then how do I substitute the number in the footer information.

Really appreciate your thoughts using Unix and I did learn a lot from your post.

Is there any way we can do the same in Perl Script itself.

Thanks a lot for your replies.

NAME

       mxmldoc - mini-xml documentation generator

SYNOPSIS

       mxmldoc --no-output [ filename.xml ] source file(s) ]
       mxmldoc	[  --footer  footerfile ] [ --header headerfile ] [ --intro introfile ] [ --section section ] [ --title title ] [ filename.xml ] [
       source file(s) ] > filename.html
       mxmldoc [ --footer footerfile ] [ --framed basename ] [ --header headerfile ] [ --intro introfile ] [ --section section ] [ --title title ]
       [ filename.xml ] [ source file(s) ]
       mxmldoc --man manpage [ --footer footerfile ] [ --header headerfile ] [ --intro introfile ] [ --section section ] [ --title title ] [ file-
       name.xml ] [ source file(s) ] > filename.man

DESCRIPTION

       mxmldoc scans the specified C and C++ source files to produce an XML representation of globally	accessible  classes,  constants,  enumera-
       tions,  functions, structures, typedefs, unions, and variables - the XML file is updated as necessary. By default, a HTML representation of
       the XML file is written to the standard output.	Use the --no-output option to disable the HTML output.

       Man page source can be generated using the --man option.

       If no source files are specified then the current XML file is converted to the standard output.

       In general, any C or C++ source code is handled by mxmldoc, however it was specifically written to handle code with documentation  that	is
       formatted according to the CUPS Developer Guide which is available at "http://www.cups.org/documentation.php".

OPTIONS

       --footer footerfile
	    Inserts the specified file at the bottom of the output documentation.

       --framed basename
	    Created HTML documentation using frames - one for the table-of-contents and one for the body.

       --header headerfile
	    Inserts the specified file at the top of the output documentation.

       --intro introfile
	    Inserts the specified file before the table of contents.

       --man manpage
	    Generated a man page instead of HTML documentation.

       --no-output
	    Disables generation of documentation on the standard output.

       --section section
	    Sets the section/keywords in the output documentation.

       --title title
	    Sets the title of the output documentation.
