In case the original version doesn't work for you (error "Search pattern not terminated at ..."), your Perl might be too old (<5.10).  In this case, you could say instead

my @a = map defined $_ ? $_ : 'NA', split /\t/, $line;

Or upgrade Perl.

My version is 5.8.5. When I try your code I get the following error; Did not find leading dereferencer, detected at offset 14434String found where operator expected at Process.pl line 146, near "// 'NA'" Thanks for your help!

... near "// 'NA'"

There is no "//" in my code, so it's unlikely you'd get this error :)
