Well, your $/ = ""; causes your while (<F>) to slurp the entire file into $_ and the while statement executes once. Setting $\ = ""; is somewhat unncecessary as that's its default (unless you run with -l). The structure of your foreach is...umm...interesting. Splicing the array is unnecessary since it falls out of scope at the end of the outer while. I don't know what $cat contains...I suspect it's a program but? Does the program return different data each time it's called? Beyond that, what is this script doing that you aren't expecting?

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).
