Still puzzled.
We seem to agree that the given code is bad style, but should work.
If it doesn't, the problem might be hidden in another piece of code you thought to be irrelevant.
From your "run" output it is not clear to me, if there is some kind of user interaction involved in your loops.
This could change the game because
while (<$fh>) {
...
}
would modify a non-localized $_.
Just a wild guess, but I ran into this trap some time ago...

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.
