Hi This is my 2nd perl program. I do not know all basics. I want some help with following progra. Any help is appreciated. I want to open two text files and grab two substrings in two opened files. I want to grab another value from first opened file as well. Now I want to print the value from first file repeatedly as long as the two substrings from two files match.I wrote some thing like this. The program i managed to write gives only one value from MYFILE and prints it repeatedly in the new file. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

#crappy

open (MYFILE, "2hgs_d00_internal_nrg_e.dat");

our $nrgval = " ";
our $chn = " ";
our $count;
#our $chn[$count];
our $count2;
#our $chn2[$count2]
our @nrg;

open (NEWF, "2HGS_bio_conv-min_p.pdb");


our $toprint = " ";
our $chn2 = " ";



while (<MYFILE>) {
chomp; # avoid \n at the end of each line


  
  if ($_ =~/ENERGY/){
  
  for($count=1;$count<=1;$count++){
  $chn = substr $_, 20, 3;
  $nrgval = substr $_, 35, 8;
 


while (<NEWF>) {
chomp; # avoid \n at the end of each line

our $j = 0;
our $i = 0;

if ($_ =~/ATOM/){

for($count2=1;$count2<=1;$count2++){
 
  $chn2 = substr $_, 23, 3;
  $toprint = substr $_, 0, 65;
 
   
 

  
for($chn=1;$chn<=$chn2;$chn++){
  
if ($chn==$chn2){

print   " $toprint $nrgval \n";


}


  
 }
}

 } 
  
}

 } 
  
}  

}

close (MYFILE);

  
  
close (NEWF);
