I am trying to convert the following to HTML. I have tried to run this and just can't seem to get it to work. Any suggestions? 

open(DATA,"c:/MLB_boxscore.TXT") or die "Can't open file";
print "<html><head><title>My page</title></head><body>";
print "<table>";
$linescore = 0;
    if($linescore) {
      last if /^\s*$/; 
      chomp;
      push @LS, split('\|',$_);
  print "<tr>"; 
      }  elsif(/^LINESCORE/) {
           $linescore = 1
         }
{
    print "<td>$linescore</td>";
  

  print "</tr>";
}

print "</table></body></html>";

close DATA;
