Hauke, thanks for the additional help. The fatalstobrowser definitely helps in not having to refresh the error log continuously.

I did attempt to look around for another Perl install, but didn't have any luck. It looks as if I'm stuck with 5.8.8 for the moment.

Basically what I'm attempting to do, is copy information for an user (listed at the top of the code) from the main gr.txt file as listed in the code, and place it along with some other text in a pre-formatted output file. I've attached a copy of the output below, along with my updated script based on the suggestions made here.

Updated Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use LWP::Simple;

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use strict;
use warnings;

@show = (
'Mike Cox*',
);

print <<EOF;

my $sn = get 'http://www.spotternetwork.org/feeds/gr.txt';
$x = length $sn;
$sn = substr($sn, 343, $x-343);


my @values = split('End:', $sn);
foreach my $val (@values){
if($val =~ m/Text:\s15\,\s10\,\s1\,\s\"(.+)\"/g){
my $name = $1;
if (grep {$name eq $_} @show){
    ...;
}{
print $val;
print "End:\n"
}
}
