My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

Aside from

• the lack of meaningful indentation because there's no <code> tags
• the lack of error checking on open calls
• the completely bizarre internesting of three different while loops
• the context free naming of variables
• the absence of correct variable declarations despite the presence of use strict (which just means this code could never have run to begin with)
• the probable misuse of != for ne (although that's just a guess; see next item)
• and the complete lack of sample data or expected results

What exactly's the problem?
