I’m new to perl. I invented a project for myself. I wanted to download and process a show I’m watching off a news server but I’ve hit a snag I can’t seem to get past. 
 
use News::NNTPClient;

$c = new News::NNTPClient("news.easynews.com");
$c->authinfo("****","****");
($first, $last) = ($c->group("alt.binaries.tv.big-brother"));
@ARRAY = $c->xpat("", $first, $last, qw(*Big.Brother.UK.S08.D003d.*));

foreach (@ARRAY) {
    @FIELDS = split;
        foreach (@FIELDS)    {
            $FIELDS[13] =~ s/\"//g;
            open OUTPUT, ">>bbuk/$FIELDS[13]";
            print OUTPUT $c->body($FIELDS[0]);
            close OUTPUT;
            print "\n\n*********** $FIELDS[0]", $c->message, "\n";

        }
}
