Thanks. you are right. The summary does works great, but the $name part still print twice:
abc
abc      0987766         ...................................
                         ............................

    What happens when you print just the $name variable outside of the format statement? Place this in the code before or instead of the write: 

    print "Name is: $name that's all.\n";

    It could be that the split is placing the wrong value into the @data array which subsequently gets copied into $name.

    Let us know if that sheds any light.
