I am trying to loop through yahoo finance csv files and print each csv to format text files using same format but I lose headers from all but first file. How can I force a header on all files just once.I've tried changing the file handle to a variable localizing $- and $% but to no avail. thank you 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w


use LWP::Simple;


for $i (O..Q)
{

my $url="http://eoddata.com/stocklist/NASDAQ/".$i.".htm";

my $str = get($url) or die "Couldn't get it!" unless defined $str;
print "got\n";
my @array = ($str =~ m/.+?Chart for NASDAQ,\w+?">(.+?)<\/A><\/td><td>(
+.+?)<\/td><td align=right>(\d+?\.\d+?)<\/td><td align=right>(\d+?\.\d
++?)<\/td><td align=right>(\d+?\.\d+?)<\/td><td align=right>(\d+?,?\d+
+?,?\d+?)<\/td><td align="right">(-?\d+?\.\d+?)<\/td><td align="center
+"><IMG.+?><\/td><td align="left">(-?\d+?\.\d+?)<\/td>.+?/gi);

open (FH,">","nasdaq_list_format".$i.".txt") or die "oops $!\n";


local $%=0;
local $-=0;
my $s= @array/8+5;
#FH->format_lines_per_page($s);
format FH_TOP=
SYMBOL         Name                   High                 Low        
+     Close           Volume            Change       +/-
----------------------------------------------------------------------

.
format FH =
@<<<<<        @<<<<<<<         @###.#####         @###.####       @###
+.####      @|||||||||||      @###.###    @##.##
$m,$n,$o,$p,$q,$r,$s,$t

.
while ( ($m,$n,$o,$p,$q,$r,$s,$t) = splice (@array,0,8)) {

write FH;
