Your code does not even compile:

X:\>perl 1197885.pl
Global symbol "$line" requires explicit package name at 1197885.pl lin
+e 8.
Global symbol "$line" requires explicit package name at 1197885.pl lin
+e 9.
Unrecognized character \x91; marked by <-- HERE after   $line .= <-- H
+ERE near column 12 at 1197885.pl line 9.

Please post the actual code using copy & paste. And by the way: Stupid quotes (“”) and standard quotes (") are not exchangeable in Perl.
