I could be misunderstanding, but if I'm reading you right, the code is something like this: 
use strict;

my $Kine = "Hello, FLF12. Would you like to play FLF22?";

# I've substituted array refs for the SQL query. It's
# approximately the same as the 'while' line you have.
foreach my $row (["Dr. Falken", "a game"], ["Bobby Fischer", "some che
+ss"]) {
   my @Replacement = ();
   $Replacement[12]=$row->[0];
   $Replacement[22]=$row->[1];

   $Kine=~s/FLF(\d\d)/$Replacement[$1]/ge;
   print $Kine, "\n";
}

Here's my guess (and it's just a guess) as to what's going on: you're doing a substitution for each row that you pull out of the database. First row, everything substitutes fine, so $Kine is 'Hello, Dr. Falken. Would you like to play a game?' Then we get to the second row. The regexp scans $Kine again, but this time it contains no tags. In fact, it contains 'Hello, Dr. Falken. Would you like to play a game?' still. So there are no tags for it to replace, and so it prints out 'Hello, Dr. Falken. Would you like to play a game?' again.

Instead, try this: 

use strict;

my $Kine = "Hello, FLF12. Would you like to play FLF22?";
foreach my $row (["Dr. Falken", "a game"], ["Bobby Fischer", "some che
+ss"]) {
   my @Replacement = ();
   $Replacement[12]=$row->[0];
   $Replacement[22]=$row->[1];

   # Copy $Kine into temporary variable
   my $out = $Kine;
   $out =~ s/FLF(\d\d)/$Replacement[$1]/ge;
   print $out, "\n";
}

Which prints out: 
Hello, Dr. Falken. Would you like to play a game?
Hello, Bobby Fischer. Would you like to play some chess?
