Yes, of course. In your combined script, instead of printing each line of matches, simply push them onto @matches. There is no need to write them out and then read them in again.

    So instead of
    print {$out} "$1\n" while $xml =~ /$regex/g;
    , I would simply write 

    my @matches;
push(@matches, $1);

    and then continue with my code from entityStat.pl.

    Is that right?

      Yes, but you will need the same loop. ie.

      my @matches;
push @matches, $1 while $xml =~ /$regex/g;
