Try this. Although I'm not sure how this relates to your original question. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
my @records = <DATA>;

for (0 .. $#records) {
    print $records[$_] . $records[$_ + 1]
      if ( $records[$_] =~ /\{TT\}/ );
}

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
