The message you cite is about push @data, qq | > $names.html "\n"; is about the missing closing delimiter ( "|" ) for qq (your lack of code tags forced me to count. Meh!) But that's not the whole problem by a long shot.

If you really want to learn Perl, "cargo-culting" (which is what you appear to be doing) is a poor course of instruction. Instead, suggest you start working your way through Learning Perl; the Tutorials here; from http://www.perltraining.com.au or from any one of several very good introductory courses available on-line (your pick, but those from colleges and universites, .edu, are sometimes better than the [very low] average web site).
