Here is how you might rewrite that code 
#!/usr/bin/perl --


use strict;
use warnings;

{
    use CGI qw~ -nph :standard ~;

    my $BasePath = 'D:/finalfantasyinfo/community';
    print header, start_html;

    MyNewsBoardApp::PrintSomeNews("$BasePath/boards/news.txt");

    print end_html;
    exit;
}

package MyNewsBoardApp;
use strict;
use warnings;
use POSIX;

sub PrintSomeNews {
    my $NewsBoardFile = shift;
    my @NewsBoard = GetNewsBoard($NewsBoardFile);

    my $i = 0;

    while ( $i < 4 ) {
        print PostToHtml( GetNewsPost( $NewsBoard[$i][0] ) );
        $i++;
    }
}

sub GetNewsBoard {
    use autodie qw' open close ';
    open my $NewsFh, shift;
    my @News = map { [ split /\|/, $_ ] }
        sort { $b <=> $a } <$NewsFh>;
    close $NewsFh;
    return @News;
}

sub GetNewsPost {
    use autodie qw' open close ';
    open my $NewsFh, shift;
    my $News = join '', $NewsFh;
    close $NewsFh;
    return split /\|/, $News;
}


sub PostToHtml {
    my (@News) = @_;

    my $ID   = $News[3];
    my $Time = POSIX::strftime( q!%H:%m %p on %B, %Y!, localtime( $New
+s[3] );

    $News[8] =~ s/\[(\/)?(b|u|i)\]/<$1$2>/gi;

For debugging you should use print escapeHTML( Dumper( $var, \@var, \%var ) );
