Hi ashok13123,
It is always best to use XML modules to parse these kind of files. Anyhow since it is simple one you can also use regex way.
Also in your xml file you have given in first <cat>
<cat>
<channel>
I think it should be
<cat>
<channelName>
Here is one way to accomplish your task.
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
my $input = "
<cat>
<channelName>CHANNEL123</channelName>
<name>CATEGORY123</name>
<shortName>TopCategory</shortName>
<description>This is TopCategory channel's Category</description>
<shortDescription>This is TopCategory channel's Category</shortDescrip
+tion>
<parentID>0</parentID>
<categoryTags>Vod;Download</categoryTags>
</cat>
<cat>
<channelName>Channel456</channelName>
<name>cat456</name>
<shortName>TopCategory</shortName>
<description>This is TopCategory channel's Category</description>
<shortDescription>This is TopCategory channel's Category</shortDescrip
+tion>
<parentID>0</parentID>
<categoryTags>Vod;Download</categoryTags>
</cat>
<cat>
<channelName>chann678</channelName>
<name>cat678</name>
<shortName>TopCategory</shortName>
<description>This is TopCategory channel's Category</description>
<shortDescription>This is TopCategory channel's Category</shortDescrip
+tion>
<parentID>0</parentID>
<categoryTags>Vod;Download</categoryTags>
</cat>
";
my %hash;
while ($input =~ /<channelName>((?:(?!<\/channelName>).)*)<\/channelNa
+me>\s*<name>((?:(?!<\/name>).)*)<\/name>/gs){
$hash{$1} = $2;
}
print Dumper \%hash;
output:
-------
$VAR1 = {
'Channel456' => 'cat456',
'chann678' => 'cat678',
'CHANNEL123' => 'CATEGORY123'
};

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
