in thread How to extract certain range of text and write into another file?

Hi, the problems you have mentioned are totally correct. I have correct the occurrence of  corry and get rid of $word. I can't figure out what variable should I match the section text.

      Here is the code I updated. Please check it. Thanks. 
      use warnings;
use strict;
my $test;
my @words;
open(INFO,"<","testing.pl")||die"Can't open file:$!\n";
chomp (@words=<INFO>);
close(INFO);
foreach @words){
if(/^\$ NAME : corry/ .. /\.EON/){
$test=$1;
print $test;
}
}

        well, you're using $1 without using capture groups which moritz told you about , and which perlintro talks about ($1)

        why are you using $1, maybe you want to use $_?
