Thanks. What I'm try to do is search a text file for certain numbers and if it finds it in the array to replace it. The problem I'm now having is in my if statement. The $stmt_tr keeps on changing to the array variable when it should keep the number I'm trying to find in the array. 
while (<CIPA>) {
    my $string = $_;
    my $stmt_tr = substr($_,126,10);
        if ((substr($string,126,1) =~ m/5/) && (substr($string,98,8) =
+~ m/20081112/)) {
            foreach my $x (@trace_row) {
                if ($stmt_tr = $x->{trace_orig}) {
                    print $x->{trace_orig} . "\n";
                
                }
            }
            print $string;
            ++$rcount;
            print $rcount . "\n";
        }
    }
