I got multiple of documents in which i have to extract a line coming after a ID..The scenario is 

Customer ID: none
VT : 002/89

Customer ID: Yes
VT: 001/89

Customer ID: none
VT: 006/85

Customer ID: Yes
VT: 003/56

I have to extract the id which is coming after YES..The output should be

VT: 001/89
VT: 003/56

i have written a script which is throwing up errors:

my $in_file = 'check.doc';
open my $in_fh, '<', $in_file or die "Could not open file $in_file: $!
+";
my $out_file = 'output.txt';
open my $out_fh, '>', $out_file or die "Could not open file $out_file:
+ $!";
while ( my $line = <$in_fh> )
{
chomp ($_);
$line if ($_ =~ /^Customer ID: Yes/);
print "$out_fh}";
}
close $in_fh or die "Could not close file $in_file: $!";
close $out_fh or die "Could not close file $out_file: $!";
