Hi,

as other monks pointed out, the problem lays probably in the fact that the output of split do not have 15 elements. Moreover the open OUTFILE should be moved <strng>before the while loop, and the print OUTFILE inside it.

It is a <emph>good thing</emph>© to use 'use strict' and '-w', but you are a little to cautios. No need for the

@array = ();

line, nor for the

$line =~ $_
[download]

one. For the last one, you could either replace the loop by

while($line = <FILEHANDLE>) {
 ...
}
[download]

or you could let the loop as it is, suppress the $line variable and use the fact that chomp and split default to $_ when no string is specified, so you'll have

while (<FILEHANDLE>) {
  chomp;
  @array = split /\s+/;
  ...
}
