Found Solution
Hello World, I've managed to encode the XML data(using sed replace), which helps in displaying your XML data as such in the browser, yet with proper applied HTML attributes. I hope this will be useful for others who come across such requirement. Thanks to Rudi and DRL for their code snippets.

Code:
awk 'FNR==NR {T[$0]; next}
     $0 in T {printf "<font color=\"red\">" $0 "</font>"; next} 1 ' <(diff --width=220 -y --suppress-common-lines FILE[12] | sed -e "s/\(.\)\([A_Za-z0-9]*\)\(>\)\(.\)/\1\2\&gt;\4/g" -e "s/\(.\)\([A_Za-z0-9]*\)\(>\)/\1\2\&gt;/g" -e "s/\(<\)\([A_Za-z0-9]*\)\(.*\)/\&lt;\2\3/g" -e "s/\(.\)\(<\)\([A_Za-z0-9]*\)\(.\)/\1\&lt;\3\4/g") <(diff --width=$WIDTH -y FILE[12] | sed -e "s/\(.\)\([A_Za-z0-9]*\)\(>\)\(.\)/\1\2\&gt;\4/g" -e "s/\(.\)\([A_Za-z0-9]*\)\(>\)/\1\2\&gt;/g" -e "s/\(<\)\([A_Za-z0-9]*\)\(.*\)/\&lt;\2\3/g" -e "s/\(.\)\(<\)\([A_Za-z0-9]*\)\(.\)/\1\&lt;\3\4/g") | sed -r 's/([^^>])(<font>)/\1\n\2/g;s/(<\/font>)([^$>])/\1\n\2/g' > XMLTEMP1.txt

xml::element

XML::Element(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 XML::Element(3pm)

NAME

       XML::Element - XML elements with the same interface as HTML::Element

SYNOPSIS

	 [See HTML::Element]

METHODS AND ATTRIBUTES

   delete_ignorable_whitespace
       TODO: test and document this: with no tagname set, assumes ALL all-whitespace nodes are ignorable!

   endtag
       Redirects to HTML::Element::endtag_XML

   starttag
       Redirects to HTML::Element::starttag_XML

DESCRIPTION

       This is just a subclass of HTML::Element.  It works basically the same as HTML::Element, except that tagnames and attribute names aren't
       forced to lowercase, as they are in HTML::Element.

       HTML::Element describes everything you can do with this class.

CAVEATS

       Has currently no handling of namespaces.

SEE ALSO

       XML::TreeBuilder for a class that actually builds XML::Element structures.

       HTML::Element for all documentation.

       XML::DOM and XML::Twig for other XML document tree interfaces.

       XML::Generator for more fun.
