The contents from {FILE} should be the filename.
Here I have used the filename as sourcetag1.
But file contains '?' in the filename and contents of
print FH "<$tag>$_</$tag>\n"; is not written to a file. The content should write to the file until another {FILE} is read.
When {FILE} is read the file should be closed and another file should be opened with the value as sourcetag2
Can you please tell me why the contents are written to the file.
