My previous replies were hidden. One has to click on the 2nd "reply4" in this thread and then reply7 to see the fix: BTW, I am new to this posting, how to aviod this? Anyway, here is the final script: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

open FILE1,"out.prod1" or die "Cannot open file $!";

@rec=<FILE1>;
$first=undef;
%save=();
foreach $x (@rec){
chomp $x;
if ( $x =~ /2005/ ){
$first=$x;
if(!defined $save{$first}){
$save{$first}=undef;}
        }
if ( $x =~ /time/ ){
$lat=$x;
$lat =~ s/.*?time=(\d+)\.\sms$/$1/;
if( $lat > "10" ){
$save{$first}=$lat;
        }
                }
}
foreach $first (sort keys %save){
if ($save{$first}){
print "$first   $save{$first}\n";
        }
}
