Hello "Pamela"!

I think it is time that you learn a bit about Perl and searching for errors instead of asking mostly vague questions.

To help us help you better, please tell us what is wrong with the current script, and reduce the script to a minimal script that still exhibits the same problem but does not rely on external files or other things you have not posted. Also tell us how the "old format" differs from the "new format".

If you don't know anything of this, please consider hiring and paying somebody to do your work.

This script was pointing to an old link, and was retriveing First Name, Last Name etc. Now, we are asked to change to new link ...

The script doesn't point to any link for input. It's file system name and your web server configuration control that. If you meant that it writes to a link that you wish to change: there are only two file open statements. You can search for the word "open" and make the necessary changes. It's plain English text at that point.

Judging by your post, you've inherited a maintenance job involving a lot of Perl. Consider singing up for an account, and reading the documents behind the helpful links below the post composition form:
