Update: I need to take a closer look at your code.

Could you explain, a bit more abstractly, what it is you are attempting to do? You want the lines which have ' 0.00' at column 118, correct?
First, your bracing and indenting style leaves something to be desired. Here's how I'd write your code: 
while (<TEST>) {
  if (/NAME /../ADJ TO TOTALS:/) {
    push @data, $_;

    foreach my $data (@data) {
      if ($data =~ /1235114182/) {
        $lines .= $_;
        my $zero = substr $lines, 118, 5;  # <-- 5? or 4?
        # you had '==', you want 'eq'
        if ($zero eq "0.00") { print OUTPUT "@data \n"; }

        @data = ();
        $zero = $lines = "";
      }
    }
  }
}

You were using == which is for strictly numeric data, but you want to use eq because you're looking specifically for the characters '0.00'. You either want to change your substr() to 4 characters, or else look for ' 0.00', I think.
