hi, thanx for the code. actually i came up with the following. 
foreach (@ARGV) {

        # Read file
        open(FF,"<$_") || die ("Cant open $_ : $!\n");
        my $t=<FF>;
        close FF;

        $t=~s/((\**\s*\w+\s*)+\s*)(\((\s*\**\s*\w+,?)*\)?\s*{)/${\&do(
+$1,$3)}/g;

        # Write file
        open (FF, ">$_.j") || die ("Cant open $_.j : $!\n");
        print FF $t;
        close FF;
}

sub do($$) {

        my ($a,$b)=@_;
        my ($t1, $t2, @t3);
        $t1=$a,$t2=$b;
        $a=~s/\n/ /gm;
        $b=~s/\n//g;
        $b=~s/\s+/ /gm;
        $b=~s/[(\{)]/ /g;
        @t3=split /,/,$b;
        #@t3=map {"\n *$_\t : " } @t3;
        @t3=map{sprintf "\n *%-13s : ", $_} @t3;
        my $t=<<E;


/*
 * Function     : $a
 *
 * Inputs       : \n *@t3
 *
 * Author       :
 * Date         :
 */
$t1$t2

I know urs is far better. as u said, it will match try, catch blocks and also constructs of type 
#define add(x,y) {\

I'd like the monks to give suggestions on optimizations,..
