well $array2 -is third field of a file that has been split by / @array -contains all fields when i did like you said i got error - sort:open failed no such file or directory it shouldn't be all that complex i think instead of www.google.ie www.google.ie www.google.ie to get: www.google.ie 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
find_serv ();
sub find_serv
{
@ARGV == 2 || die "usage: $0 INDEX_FILE  '.com'\n";# .com---->icq.com
my ( $INDEX_FILE, $com ) = @ARGV;
my $list = "grep 'href=' $INDEX_FILE|" ;#- $INDEX_FILE  -->  wget www.
+icq.com

 open (my $HAN, "$list" ) || die "Cannot open '$INDEX_FILE' because:: 
+$!";
   while (<$HAN>) {
       chomp $_;
  my @array = split (/\//, $_);
  if ($array[2] =~ /$com/ ){#matches icq.com
    my  @sort =  $array[2];
    #my $result = `sort -u '$sorted'`;
    #print "$result\n";
    system "sort -u '$array[2]' > '$array[2].sorted'";
rename "$array[2].sorted", $array[2];

    print "$array[2]n";
  }}

}
