sorry for completely updating my question again, as the code mentioned below is removing all the <alt> tags in the .dita files which I have not attached here, so I need to provide the functionality of whether to remove the <alt> tag from the script or not to remove it. kindly guide me how should I update the below code with the required functionality.

sub RemoveAltTag($)
{
my $doc = shift;

##############################
    my $cnt = 0;
    my $nodes = $doc->getElementsByTagName("image");
    
    for(my $i = 0;$i < $nodes->getLength(); $i++)
    {
     my $kids = $nodes->item($i)->getChildNodes();
     
     for(my $k =0; $k < $kids->getLength(); $k++)
     {
      if($kids->item($k)->toString() =~ /<alt>/i)
      {
       $nodes->item($i)->removeChild($kids->item($k));

       print "\n Removed <alt> tag" if $VERBOSE;
       
       $cnt++
      }
     }
    }

    return $cnt;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
