harshmane:
I'd suggest first reindenting your program so the structure is clear (use perltidy or the indenting feature of a [no such wiki, comparison of text editors] such as vim, emacs, etc).
Next, for a program as small as this one, pretend you're the computer, and simply do the operations one by one. If you're moderately careful, you'll find the bugs pretty easily as you'll find your program telling you to do things at the wrong time. Just take a sheet of paper and write a small simple data set on it at the top. Use the bottom to keep track of the values of variables and the output file. Then, as you find the bugs, repair them.
While I find desk work like that a bit relaxing, you'll find that more complex programs require far too much work to do by hand. That's when using the perl debugger comes in handy. Learn how to use it, and it will help you become a better programmer.
But for this program, it would be instructive if you do it by hand so you can get a feel for how to read a program and find errors. As an example, for the program:
my $total=0;
for my $val (2 4 6 8) {
$total += $val;
}
print $total;
My worksheet would look something like:
total: 0 2 6 12 20
val: 2 4 6 8

There is no need to create duplicates. As Writeup Formatting Tips tells you
The three most important words in posting- Preview, Preview, Preview.
Even though, in most cases, you can edit your node after it has
been submitted,
some sections of the site do not allow this, so be sure that
everything is looking how you want others to see it before
you finally hit Submit.
(In your User Settings you can switch
off the forced preview. But don't. Even the most experienced monks
still preview before posting.
Your humble author has previewed up to eight
times on some posts, just to make sure it would look right.)

Hi, the code you posted does not compile, part of asking a question effectively, is to make sure your code compiles before posting.
while(<FH>){
...
This reads from a file until it reaches the end. Filehandles are iterators. Once you reach the end, the subsequent while(<FH>) loop will not be entered
@arr =$_;
This sets @arr to the value of $_; It doesn't add values to @arr, for that you need the push function

i m rewriting the current code here i m printing the give n part but i want it in between.
use warnings;
use strict;
my $fg=0;
my $i=0;
open(FF ,"lib");
open (FF1,>lib1");
while(<FF>)
{
my $lin =$_;
print FF1 $lin;
if ($lin=~m/pattern to be patched for stat copying/)
{ $fg=1;
}
if ($fg)
{
$lin=$_;
my @arr =$lin[$i];
$i++;
}
if($lin=~m/pattern where to stop copying & repeating/)
{ $fg=0;
}
}
if ($fg==0)
{
for (my $j=0;$j<$i;$j++)
{
print FF1 @arr[$j];
}
}
i want to actuaaly print the given para in between here using these script i am print @ end of file.

Hi, its me again :)
I'm assuming this message was meant as a reply to Re^3: to copy certain content in file & repeat it .
Since PerlMonks offers threaded discussions, it is important to reply to the correct node by clicking the [reply] alongside the node of interest
This is something else to remember for next time
Thanks :)
