It seems like a better idea, do you think it will parse faster? Here is the code again with a better display. Where would you improve it? Thanks a lot again!

my $start = $getdata;
my $end   = $getdata2;

my $dir = '../weblog/';
@ARGV     = ();

die "start must be less than end" if $start >= $end;
die "no dir $dir here" unless -d $dir;


find sub {
   my $numb = (fileparse($_,'.txt'))[0];
   return unless $numb =~ /^\d+$/;
   push @ARGV, $File::Find::name if $numb >= $start and $numb <= $end;
}, $dir;

die "no .txt files found in $dir" unless @ARGV;

while ( <> ) {
$p1="P1 = (inquiry, launch page)\n";
$p2="P2 = (car coverages, endorsements, operators)\n";
$p3="P3 = (notepad, scratch)\n";
$b1="B1 = (my inquiry: auto, home and location)";
$p0="P0 = (local search)\n";
$c0="C0 = (dist search)\n";
$c1="C1 = (state inquiry)\n";
$c3="C3 = (test notepad)\n";
$h1="H1 = (owners and coop search and history)\n";
if (m/iapw_p1/g){s/iapwp1/$p1/g; print;}
if (m/iapw_p2/g){s/iapwp2/$p2/g; print;}
if (m/iapw_p3/g){s/iapwp3/$p3/g; print;}
if (m/iapw_b1/g){s/iapwb1/$b1/g; print;}
if (m/iapw_p0/g){s/iapwp0/$p0/g; print;}
if (m/iapw_c0/g){s/iapwc0/$c0/g; print;}
if (m/iapw_c1/g){s/iapwc1/$c1/g; print;}
if (m/iapw_c2/g){s/iapwc3/$c3/g; print;}
if (m/iapw_c3/g){s/iapwh1/$h1/g; print;}
