my $found = 0;
while ($found < 2) {
my $line = <DATA>;
if ($line =~ /customer2/) {
$found++;
my @customer2_data = split(/=/, $line);
print "$found- $customer2_data[1]";
}
}
Don't you run into a infinite loop with this? In case $found is less than 2 and <DATA> has reached its end-of-file, there will be no more matches and $found won't be incremented... So it will loop quite a while ;o))
So, maybe this would be better:
my $found = 0;
while ( $found < 2 and my $line = <DATA> ) {
if ( $line =~ m/customer2/ ) {
# ...
}
}
Even if this case only appears, if the input data is corrupt, I would try to avoid such construct.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
