Hi Monks, I am Sorry for asking this question because I got some help form this site but I am struggling with this problem.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use XML::LibXML;
use Carp;
use File::Find;
use File::Spec::Functions qw( canonpath );
use XML::LibXML::Reader;
use Digest::MD5 'md5';

if ( @ARGV == 0 ) {
    push @ARGV, "c:/Main/work";
    warn "Using default path $ARGV[0]\n  Usage: $0  path ...\n";
}

# open an output file whose name won't be found by File::Find
open( my $allxml, '>', "all_xml_contents.combined1.xml" )
    or die "can't open output xml file for writing: $!\n";
print $allxml '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>',
    "\n<Shiporder xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instanc
+e\">\n";
my %shipto_md5;
find(
    sub {
        return unless ( /(_dtc\.xml)$/ and -f );
        extract_information();
        return;
    },
    @ARGV
);

print $allxml "</Shiporder>\n";

sub extract_information {
    my $path = $_;
if ( my $reader = XML::LibXML::Reader->new( location => $path )) {
        while ( $reader->nextElement( 'shipto' )) {
            my $elem = $reader->readOuterXml();
            my $md5 = md5( $elem );
            print $allxml $reader->readOuterXml() unless ( $shipto_md5
+{$md5}++ );
        }
    }
    return;
}
