I am writing a perl script to extract a integer from a file and for each line generated, the integer is increased by 1.0.
I am not sure how to imbed the awk command within my perl script, as I get a lot of error messages.
At the top of the code, I included the files the script is extracting info from.
Can I get some pointers to get (line 22) the awk line to work?
Thanks RCP

open(MYOUTFILE, ">align_comp_cc.txt");

open (FILEH, "comp_prim_loc");
while (<FILEH>) { 
chomp;
  if ( /Location:/i ) {  
 tr/:)(/ /; ($xloc,$yloc,$rot) = (split)[2,4,8]; 
open(MYOUTFILE, ">>align_comps_cc.txt");

$count = $yloc;

open (FILEH, "comp_locs");
while (<FILEH>) {
chomp;
  if ( /Reference Designator:/i ) { 
($name) = (split)[2];
my $count="`awk -v x=$count -v y=1.0 'BEGIN{ printf "%3f\n", x+y}'`";
print "\$\place_component_by_reference_with_mrf('$name', [['$xloc', '$
+count', 'BO\$board'], 0, 0], 0, \@NoRepeat);\n";
}
}
}
}
close(MYOUTFILE);

The results should look like this:
$place_component_by_reference_with_mrf('C1000', ['70.4469', '16.875', 'BO$board', 0, 0], 0, @NoRepeat);
$place_component_by_reference_with_mrf('C1002', ['70.4469', '17.875', 'BO$board', 0, 0], 0, @NoRepeat);
$place_component_by_reference_with_mrf('C1004', ['70.4469', '18.875', 'BO$board', 0, 0], 0, @NoRepeat);
