You try the following script to do it.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;


my $chrom='chr1';
my $start=9839;
my $stop=9841;

my %hash=();

my @values=();

while(<DATA>)
{
        if(/[a-z]+\s*chrom=$chrom/)
        {
                while(<DATA>)
                {
                if(/([0-9]+)\s*([0-9]+\.[0-9]+)/)
                {
                        $hash{$1}=$2;
                }
                else {
                        last;
                }
                }
        }
}

for ($start .. $stop) {
push @values,$hash{$_};
}

print @values;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
