I have successfully been able to assign separate filehandles to scalers, search and return results, however, both file search results return in both placeholders. I need to assign a $line3 to $main_template =~ s %%searcresults%%/$pitem/g; and $line2 to $main_template =~ s %%premiumresults%%/$premiumitem/g; 
    $main_template =~ s/%%keywords%%/$fields{'keywords'}/g; 
    $main_template =~ s/%%searcresults%%/$pitem/g;
    $main_template =~ s/%%premiumresults%%/$premiumitem/g;

$pitem and $premiumitem only represent the HTML file insertion names and are not relevant here. I am thinking I need an if, elsif and else statement somewhere so that $main_template =~ s/%%searcresults%%/$pitem/g; is assgned with $line3 if the results are found in SIDX, that $main_template =~ s/%%premiumresults%%/$premiumitem/g; is assigned with $line2 if the results are found in SIDX2, and that both are returned if the results were found in both SIDX and SIDX2. 
foreach $item (@skeyw){$nrkeywords++;}

open (SIDX, "$data_dir/search.idx");
open (SIDX2, "$data_dir/search2.idx");

 if ($file_locking ne "No"){flock (SIDX, LOCK_SH) or die "Can't set lo
+ck for file: $data_dir/search.idx, $data_dir/search2.idx $!\n";}
    while($line3 = [SIDX])
    {
    $line2 = [SIDX2];
    $sline = "${line1}${line2}${line3}";
    
    foreach $kwr (@skeyw)
    
    {
        if (($sline =~ /$kwr/i) and ($kwr ne "")) 
        
            $toadk = "true";
            }
        }

        if ($toadk eq "true")
            {
    
            $premium_resultline[$icnt] = "${line2}";
            $resultline[$icnt] = "${line3}";
            
            $toadk = false;
            $icnt++;
            }
    }
    
     #if ($file_locking ne "No"){flock (CIT, LOCK_UN);}
close (SIDX);
close (SIDX2);
}

$main_template = html::insert_tmpl_includes($main_template);  
print "$main_template";
exit;
