Do you know what the -p switch does in your script?

Do you know what the -v switch does in your script?

The -v switch consumes one more argument from @ARGV and writes into a variable $version. That value is then stripped out from the string contained in the $XLFILE variable.

You don't show us where in your code the $XLFILE variable is populated, but most likely that file is what you want?

Or maybe the output filename is c_vewnts.xml - that is mentioned somewhere later.

My approach would be to talk to the people who wrote that program, or to the people who use that program and ask them about what the program does, and what its input parameters are and where it writes its output.
