in reply to first elements in array, split join and sort problem

It looks like one of your $lines is an uninitialized value. You could put in your foreach loop:

next unless $line;

But that's just ignoring the problem, not fixing it. But since we can't see sample data, it's hard to analyze WHY its uninitialized.
