OK.. not much to do with your question since others have answered it, but as I suggested in your other post, you don't need to use 4 different variables to refrence the line you're working with. Here is your code, removing all the variables that you don't need.. oh and adding "use strict" and -w if you didn't have it already... 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
my $filename = './index.html';

open (FILE, $filename);
open OUTFILE, '>out.asp';

while(<FILE>){
    # walk each file
    chomp;
    #grabbing and printing everything between the body tags
    if (/<body.*?>/i ... /<\/body.*?>/i){
        # this is a body line
        # extract the body

        #changing .html to .asp in the links
        if  (/href.*\.html/i) {
            s/\.html/\.asp/gi;
        }

        s/(.*?)\<body\>(.*?)\<\/body\>/$2/i;

        # Write the body to the output file
        print OUTFILE "$_\n";

    }
}
close(FILE);
close OUTFILE;

I think everyone would agree that only using one variable to manipulate one line of text makes things much clearer.
