The code does more than just delete lines containing only a single uppercase letter, it also concatenates everything that remains into a single line. Is that the intent?

You actually ask how to do two contradictory things. Your first request implies deleting the line containing {T} and the following line. The last request asks that only a line containing a single letter be deleted if it follows a line containing {T}. Nowhere do you indicate if it is important that the {T} be at the end of the line.

use warnings;
use strict;

while (<DATA>) {
    no warnings "void";
    m/{T}$/ .. s/^[A-Z]\n//;
    print;
}

Note the use of no warnings "void" to suppress the 'useless use ...' warning due to using the range operator for a side effect.

Minor alterations of the match (possibly to a substitution) can provide the other variants implied by your question.
