I'm sorry to trouble you with this, but I just can't quite seem to break through.

I have a spreadsheet (tab delimited) and I want to put the information from field in a certain row into an array, add more information to it, and then put it back! I thought I would be able to get the information from the required field with the following, but as a test I tried to print the field and nothing happened. 


my $checkthree = param('check');

open (DATA, "$data") || die "Couldn't get data";
           
@all=<DATA>;
close (DATA);



#Read each line of the data file
foreach $line (@all){
$line=~s/\n//g;
($one,$two,$three,$four,$five,$six,$seven,) = split ('\t',$line);}
  if ($checkthree == $three) {
   last;}
   

   
print "$four";

Could anybody point me in the right direction, please?
