OK, in order to even attempt a sensible answer to the
question, we'll need more information.
- Given the presence of the -s we'll need to
know the command line that you use to run the script so we
can know valid values for $matchstr, $g, $r and $y.
- The script seems to closely tied to the syntax of the
input file, so it would be helpful to see some sample
data.
Is that more helpful?
p.s. I still think it's a horrible script :)

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
