To allow others to help you better please use code tags around your program code, the data and the output, to make your post more readable. Also it seems that the code that you posted lost a couple of square brackets
e.g.: $finish$x should probably read as:  $finish[$x]

Even more important: add "use strict;use warnings;" in your code so that Perl itself can help you! If you switch on warnings you will find a wealth of useful information to help you structure your program.

Your program as is:

• parses only the initial 25 lines (= 200 fields), remaining lines are ignored. Is that by intention?
• adds a tab as the last character before the newline
  you probably want to remove \t at the line with: elsif( $f eq 8) { print OUT "\n"; $f=0;}

What 'other information' did you get that you did not want?

Update:After posting I noticed that Liverpole has provided an excellent answer already
