However at each attempt, I get an empty output file and the "use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string" message in the terminal. Please excuse my ignorance as I have only very limited knowledge of perl scripts. I would appreciate it very much if you could explain what I am doing wrong and give me step-by-step instructions on how to run this script.
Many thanks!
