Hello there, i am new on perl and i have this code :

the code seems to do the following :
- create txt with header
- create list of files based on every files that match with criteria (option, csv)
- for each files of the list, fill with all rows and then remove what do not match with the criteria "unless" and "if"
- push everything into the file with header (oltp.txt)

My Goal :
- create txt with header
- create list of file based on every files that match with criteria (option, csv)
- for each files of the list, **fill only with the First rows that match with the criteria "unless" and "if"**
- push everything in the file with header (oltp.txt). the final result should be the txt with header and then, only 1 line per files (if the criteria match).
many thank for your help
