This is my tab delimited input file

Name \t Street \t Address

This is how I want my output file to look like

Street \t Address \t Address

(yes duplicate the next two columns) My output file looks like this instead

Street \t Address

\n \t Address

What is going on with perl? This is my code.

open (IN, $ARGV[0]);

open (OUT, ">output.txt");
while ($line = <IN>){

    chomp $line;
    @line=split/\t/,$line;

    $line[2]=~s/\n//g;
   print OUT $line[1]."\t".$line[2]."\t".$line[2]."\n";
}

close( OUT);
