Hi Kiran,

It's not too polite to expect us to read your code like that, and it sounds an awful lot like this is a homework assignment that you want us to do for you. So, no, I don't think I'll rewrite your entire script for you. However, here's the key pieces you are missing:

Open a file for reading 
open(INPUT,'<',$filename) or die $!;

Open a file for writing 
open(BSC,'>','BSC') or die $!;

[download]
Loop through a file looking for dates and names 
for my $searchline(<INPUT>) {
    if( $searchline =~ /20041204/ ) {
        if( $searchline =~ /^BSC/) {
            print BSC $searchline;
        }
    }
}

There are some other problems with the variables in your code, putting "use strict" at the top and defining variables with "my $var = ..." would help.
