How to delete the current line with the string '{T}' and next line if there is a single character in the next line. The below code deletes all the single characters in a line if exists. I want to delete only the single string if below {T}. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<DATA>) {
    chomp;
 s/^[A-Z]$//g;
$_ = '' if index( $_, '{T}' ) >= 0;
print $_;
}
__DATA__
