Dear Perl experts,

<table1><tgroup cols="3"></table1>

<table2><tgroup cols="2"></table2>

output file test.out:
<table1><tgroup cols="3">
<colspec colnum='1' colname='1'/>
<colspec colnum='2' colname='2'/>
<colspec colnum='3' colname='3'/>
</table1>

<table2><tgroup cols="2">
<colspec colnum='1' colname='1'/>
<colspec colnum='2' colname='2'/>
</table2>

i want to print <colspec..> N number of times just after <tgroup cols="N"> depending upon the value N found inside <tgroup cols="N">.
But my following code prints the output outside somewhere 
my %tval;

open(IN, "<test.txt") || die "\nCan't open test.txt\n $!\n";
open(OUT, ">test.out") || die "\nCan't open test.out\n $!\n";
while(<IN>)
{
    if(/<tgroup cols="(.*?)">/)
    {
        for ($count = 1; $count <= $1; $count++) {
            print OUT "<colspec colnum='$count' colname='$count'/>\n";

        }
    }
print OUT;
}
close(IN);
close(OUT);

pls help me in fixing the code.
