I need to be able to add an element id to a tab which is being generated automatically by a sub header routine somewhere in these lines of code, 
    my $str = "<header>";
      if ((!$Request->item("ResourceID")->item() && !$Request->item("n
+oHeader")->item()) || !$Session->{'isAuthenticated'})
      {
        
        $str .= "<logo url=\"http://".$Request->ServerVariables("SERVE
+R_NAME")->item()."\" width=\"200\" height=\"62\" alt=\"http://".$Requ
+est->ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")->item()."\">Images/MLXhelp_logo.p
+ng</logo>
        
        if($Session->{'isAuthenticated'})
        {
            my $current = "Help";
            if ($Request->item("Tab")->item()){$current = $Request->it
+em("Tab")->item();}
            $str .= "<tabs>";
            $str .= "<current>$current</current>";
            $str .= "<tab id=\"Main\" tab=\"\" view=\"\" title=\"Main\
+" height=\"28\" width=\"86\" alt=\"Click here to return to the Main P
+age\"/>";          
            $str .= xmlFileData("Base/optionalTabs", "help2.xml", "hea
+der()") if ( $Request->ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")->item() =~ /mlx
+help/i );
            $str .= xmlFileData("Base/optionalTabs", "help2.xml", "hea
+der()") if ( $Request->ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")->item() =~ /tem
+pohelp/i );
            $str .= xmlFileData("Base/optionalTabs", "support-new.xml"
+, "header()");
            if ($Request->item("Tab")->item() && $str =~ /(.*?<tab id=
+\"$current\".*?>).*?(<\/tab>.*)/s)
            {
              $str = $1.$2;
            }

I think but am not sure that this is actually looping through my xml files and assigning the images to the tabs I need to add a name attribute to those image tags, It doesn't matter if its 1 2, 3 etc, I just need the name assigned so I can reference it directly.
