The + is there to keep print from thinking those parentheses contain its argument. You are missing the $ on diff in your if. The if doesn't match because the line does not start with digits.
use strict;
would have helped you some. Some judicious print statements would also be enlightening. The code is getting pretty bletcherous. Did you copy some of these constructs?
I've updated it just enough that it runs and you can see what you've got. I don't know where you want to take it from here.
use strict;
use warnings;
my $dev = qw/original1/;
my $dev1 = qw/clinical1/;
my $diff=0;
# open (FOO, "samcmd a $dev 2>\&1 |" ) || die
# "unable to open pipe... Broken? $!";
while (<DATA>) {
if (/regular files|archdone files/) {
local $, = "\n";
#s/^\w+(\s+)\w+(\s+)// && s/,//,;
s/,//, print +(split)[2], $,;
if (/^\d+/) {
$diff -=$1; ##--## 62622-62535
}
else {
print "$_ does not start with digits.\n";
}
}
}
print "Difference is: $diff\n";
#close (FOO) or warn "unable to close file $!";
__DATA__

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).
