OK. The foreach statement structure makes more sense, but I'm still at an impass. It still gives the same result. There are actually several passes made in the regex to get all the formatting done, like so: 
foreach (@FILE) {
   s/[0]{4}\n/<v2\.05><e1>\n\@Normal\=<Ps100t0h100z12k0b0cKf\"ArialMT\
+">\n\@Normal\=\[S\"\",\"Normal\",\"Normal\"\]<\*L\*h\"Standard\"\*kn0
+\*kt0\*ra0\*rb0\*d0\*p\(0,0,0,0,0,0,g,\"U\.S\. English\"\)>\n\@\$\:<\
+*J\*p\(9,\-9,0,9,0,0,g,\"U\.S\. English\"\)><z8f\"Helvetica\">\n/;
   s/^[0-9]{4}\n/<\*ra\(1,0,K,100,\-9,0,0\%\)\*p\(9,\-9,0,7,0,0,g,\"U\
+.S\. English\"\)><z2>\n<\*ra0\*p\(9,\-9,0,9,0,0,g,\"U\.S\. English\"\
+)><Bz8>/;
   s/^[0-9]{4}D\n/<\*ra\(1,0,K,100,\-9,0,0\%\)\*p\(9,\-9,0,7,0,0,g,\"U
+\.S\. English\"\)><z2>\n<\*ra0\*p\(9,\-9,0,9,0,0,g,\"U\.S\. English\"
+\)><Bz8>\n\*\*\*\*\*\*DISPLAY\*\*\*\*\*\*\n/;
   s/(<Bz8>)([^ ]*)/$1$2<\$>/;
}

Could one of the other passes be screing something up? Could there be an invisible character between <Bz8> and the next word that is screwing it up? It does it right when it hits: 
<*ra0*p(9,-9,0,9,0,0,g,"U.S. English")><Bz8>
