I am needing to take out the first word of a sting so users can modify a score on the web. After the submit I need to put that word (what ever it may be)back into the string followed by the modified score. I don't have any idea on how to do this, Please help. 
elsif ($temp =~ (m/^score/i)) 
     {
       $item_line[$head_count] = $item_line[$head_count] . $& . $';
       
        $item_line[$head_count] =~ s/score //g;
##### need something to parse out unknow word in string here.
       $head_count ++;
       $item_count = 0;
     }

##### writing the file ###############
while($a<=$ttl)
    {
        $line_count = 0;
        $write_header = $tmp_headers[$a];
        $write_if = $if[$a];
        $write_action = $act[$a];

        # Write Section Header
        print FILE "$write_header\n";

        # Write If information
        print FILE "$write_if\n";
                 
          # Create item list for the individual section
         write_items($tmp_headers[$a]);
        
    my $t = -1;
#### need to put parsed section of string back between $score and $ite
+m_line
        while ($t++ <= $line_count)
        {
            if ($item_line[$t] ne "")
              {
                print FILE "$score$item_line[$t]\n\n";
              }
        }
    
         
         $a++;
    }#end while
