You've mixed data and code, which won't work. Perhaps you're confusing perl with php?

What you want to do is separate the data and code, having the code process the data. Something like:

use strict; use warnings; my $data = qq{ <h1 border=\"1\" align=\"center\">Welcome to ATCA Booking and man +agment system<br>Chassis information and detail</h1> <body> <TABLE cellSpacing=\"0\" cellPadding=\"0\" border=\"1\" align=\"c +enter\"> <TR align=\"center\"><TD>No</TD><TD>version</TD><TD>Chassis</TD><T +D>Assigned</TD><TD>CMMIP1</TD><TD>CMMIP2</TD><TD>CMM1<br>SerialPortCo +nnection</TD><TD>CMM2<br>SerialPortConnection</TD><TD>Ibootbar_Altuse +n</TD></TR> </table> }; # Open db for reading -- but die if there's an error open(INFO, "data2.txt") or die "Failed to open 'data2.txt' ($!)\n"; my @array = <INFO>; close (INFO); my @ascend=sort(@array); my $i = 1; foreach my $line (@ascend){ my ($version, $okok) = split(/\|/,$line); $data .= qq{ <TR><TD align=\"center\"> $i </TD><TD> $version </TD> }; ++$i; } print "DATA:\n $data\n";

Update: put back $i, which I now see was in each first <td>

say  substr+lc crypt(qw $i3 SI$),4,5
