Hello Shaveta_Chawla.

It seems your xml have some trouble like '<\doc>'.
If it is valid xml, XML::Twig will do like this.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; use warnings; use XML::Twig;
my $xml=join('', <DATA>);

my $max_docid=0;
XML::Twig->new(
    twig_roots =>{
        'str[@name="docuid"]' => \&set_max_docid,
    },
)->parse($xml);

sub set_max_docid {
    my ($twig, $elt)= @_;
    my $docid= $elt->first_child_trimmed_text;
    if ($docid > $max_docid ){
        $max_docid=$docid
    }
}

print "max docid=$max_docid\n";
__DATA__
