Now we have 2 files, but I still have no idea what the resulting "merged" file should look like. It could be:

<Z><A id="a1">...</A><A id="a2">...</A></Z>

which would be quite easy to do, you don't even need Perl for this, but it could also be a file where only D elements are added according to conditions on various tags/attributes...

What system are you trying to install XML::Parser on? Versions up to 2.29 include expat, so all you need is a C compiler, gcc works fine, to install the module. The only problem you can find is that it can collide with the static install of expat done by Apache. So version 2.30 comes without expat, which you have to install (you can find expat on sourceforge here).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
