sub main{

    my @alarm_details;
    
    my @paths = qw(c:/test/sample.xml c:/test/sample1.xml); #giving th
+e file path
    
    foreach my $path (@paths){    
        my %alarm_details;    #Declare Each time instead of setting nu
+ll    value
        tie %alarm_details, "Tie::IxHash"; #for Hash in order
        
        open(LOG,"<$path") || die "can't open log ";
        $alarm_details{$path} = $path;
        
        while (<LOG>) {
            chomp;
            /^(.*)=(.*)$/;
            $alarm_details{ $1 } = $2 if ($1);
