Hi Neeti,
this is a non bioperl way to download the data.
Use the SRS server on the EBI page to download only id and title lines from 
pdb.

1) Point your browser to the SRS page (http://srs.ebi.ac.uk).
2) Search for 'PDB' on the 'library page' and select it.
3) Use the standard query form. Select 'id' in the dropdown list and 
insert '*' (wildcard).
4) Create a view by selecting 'ID' and 'Title', then click the search button.
5) Click the save results button.
6) Select 'file' in the 'output to' area and 'ALL' in the 'Number of entries 
to download' field. Press 'save'.

If the download is slow, read the 'download tips' on the download page and 
split the results in chunks.
