Ok guys,I'm just really new to perl programming. With the script below, I just wanna place a block of the input data to 2 different output files depending on the existence of a tag within each block. The input data format basically looks like this: 
<DIVIDER>file.txt</DIVIDER>
<STANDARD>....
....
...

<DIVIDER>file.txt</DIVIDER>
>JN....
....
....

Basically, I just need to print only the data with the <STANDARD> tag to $outfile and those with the >JN to $fixfile. Within the process I'm also trying to strip the <DIVIDER> tag which doesn't seem to work. Please help me out, here's the snippet: 
#!/bin/perl

$infile=ARGV[0];
$outfile=ARGV[1];
$fixfile="fix.txt"
open(INFILE,”$infile”) or die “can’t open $fixfile: $!” ;
open(OUTFILE,”>$outfile”) or die “can’t open $outfile: $!”;
open(FIXFILE,”>$fixfile”) or die “can’t open $fixfile: $!”;

$/= “<DIVIDER>*</DIVIDER>”;
$temp="";
while(<INFILE>) {
    $*=1;
    $temp=$_;
    if (  $temp=~ /^<STANDARD>(.|\n)+/ ){
        $temp=~s/<(DIVIDER)>.+<\/\1>//;
        print OUTFILE $temp;
    }
    else {
        print FIXFILE $temp;
    }
}
close (INFILE);
close (FIXFILE);
close (OUTFILE);

Thanks!
