Cool. Thank you! But now I have decided to print fields 1 and 4, however I cannot get past this error: 
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at san_relat
+ion.plx line 81, <$output> line 3.

# @vpaths contains vapt0..vpath##

for my $vps (@vpaths) {
    print "\n";
    open my $output, "lspv -l $vps |" or die $!;
    #<$output>;
    #<$output>;
    for (<$output>) {
         next if m[distribution|n/a]i;
         next unless defined;
         print Dumper(my ($f1,$f4) = (split)[0, 4]);
         print "$f1\t$f4\n";
        #print +(split)[0],"\n";
        #print +(split)[4],"\n";
    }
    print "\n";
    #system("odmget -q name=$vps 'CuAt'|grep -p pvid");
}

from the Dumper output VAR2 is the problem
$VAR1 = 'vpath0:';

$VAR2 = undef; 
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at san_relat

vpath0:
$VAR1 = 'lvREPdata10';
$VAR2 = '/db2/REP/sapdata10';
lvREPdata10     /db2/REP/sapdata10
