   my $gen_public = 0;
   my $version = "0.1";
   while ($arg = shift @ARGV)
   {
      $gen_public  = 1 if ($arg eq "-p");
      if ($arg eq "-v")
      {
         $version = shift @ARGV;
        $XLFILE =~ s/v0\.1/v$version/g;
      }
   }

   &print_tagec_xml_hdr();

   require "../spr_uc_events.v$version.pl";
   foreach my $box (@SPRBoxes)
   {
      printf(" <Uncore>\n  <ProcessorArea name=\"%s\">\n", $box);
      &create_tagec_recs(\%SPR_UCEventList, $gen_public, $box);
      printf("  </ProcessorArea>\n </$area>\n");
   }
   
   my $coreevents = "core_events.xml";
   if (-f $coreevents)
   {
        open(COREXML, $coreevents ) || die("Cannot Open $coreevents");
        printf while <COREXML>  ;
