Hi again, i did tried combine but somehow this errors appear.Is it what i am doing is totally wrong?

 
String found where operator expected at step1_inpout.pl line 21, near
        "$writehandle "+>"" (#1)
    (S syntax) The Perl lexer knows whether to expect a term or an ope
+rator.
    If it sees what it knows to be a term when it was expecting to see
+ an
    operator, it gives you this warning.  Usually it indicates that an
    operator or delimiter was omitted, such as a semicolon.

        (Missing operator before "+>"?)
String found where operator expected at step1_inpout.pl line 23, near
        "$outputhandle ">"" (#1)
        (Missing operator before ">"?)

syntax error at step1_inpout.pl line 21, near "$writehandle "+>""
syntax error at step1_inpout.pl line 23, near "$outputhandle ">""
Execution of step1_inpout.pl aborted due to compilation errors (#2)
    (F) Probably means you had a syntax error.  Common reasons include
+:

        A keyword is misspelled.
        A semicolon is missing.
        A comma is missing.
        An opening or closing parenthesis is missing.
        An opening or closing brace is missing.
        A closing quote is missing.

    Often there will be another error message associated with the synt
+ax
    error giving more information.  (Sometimes it helps to turn on -w.
+)
    The error message itself often tells you where it was in the line 
+when
    it decided to give up.  Sometimes the actual error is several toke
+ns
    before this, because Perl is good at understanding random input.
    Occasionally the line number may be misleading, and once in a blue
+ moon
    the only way to figure out what's triggering the error is to call
    perl -c repeatedly, chopping away half the program each time to se
+e
    if the error went away.  Sort of the cybernetic version of S<20
    questions>.
