I am kind of a math and science ignoramus, but I don't have any idea what "R-squared" is. Is it a math function? The square of some number you're reading? Or something else? What do you need your sub to return?

I think, immediately, you probably need to break the lines you read into fields. You seem to be passing whole lines of data to your sub, correct? Is that what you want to do? When the sub receives them, you probably need to have something like this:

my @dos = split(/\s*/, $dosage);     # Split $dosage into an array at 
+the spaces between the numbers
my @geno = split(/\s*/, $genotype);  # Do the same thing for $genotype

After that, I'm not sure what you want to do.
