My program takes in an RTF document and can print in plain text but I am having trouble printing to a RTF document. Here is my code so far: 

 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Data::Dumper 'Dumper';
use strict;
use RTF::Parser;
use RTF::TEXT::Converter;
use RTF::Writer;
#my $tokenizer = RTF::Tokenizer->new( file => "123456.rtf" );
die "usage: $0 input output\n" unless @ARGV == 2;


my $infile = shift;
my $outfile = shift;
open my $fh, "<", $infile;
open my $output, ">", $outfile; 
my $string;
my $rtf = RTF::Writer->new_to_file($output);

my $object = RTF::TEXT::Converter->new (output => \$string);
$object->parse_stream( $fh );
chomp $string;
my @un = split("\n", $string);

my @sorted = sort {
    
   my @fields_a = split ' ' , $a;
   my @fields_b = split ' ', $b;
   chomp($a, $b);
   
   $fields_a[0] <=> $fields_b[0];
    
    if($fields_a[1] || $fields_b[1] eq 'ERROR'){
        $rtf->prolog();
        $rtf->print($fields_a[1]);
        
    }

    
    
} @un;

$rtf->close;
close $fh;
close $output;

Basically if the field in the array says "ERROR" I want to print that to a RTF document. Any help would be much appreciated!
