Your welcome! :)
on a side note
This
$line =~ s/^[^=]*\=//;
is IMHO better written as
my ($var,$list) = split /=/, $line, 2; °
It's not only much easier to read and self-documenting, you'll also have a chance to check if $var eq "Teams"
And if $var is of no interest you can also write
my ( undef, $list ) = split /=/, $line;
debugger demo
DB<211> $line = "Teams=PATRIOTS,BILLS,DOLPHINS,JETS,COWBOYS,GIANTS,E
+AGLES,REDSKINS,BENGALS,OILERS,STEELERS,BROWNS,SEAHAWKS,RAMS,49ERS,RAI
+DERS"
DB<212> x ($var,$list) = split /=/, $line
0 'Teams'
1 'PATRIOTS,BILLS,DOLPHINS,JETS,COWBOYS,GIANTS,EAGLES,REDSKINS,BENGAL
+S,OILERS,STEELERS,BROWNS,SEAHAWKS,RAMS,49ERS,RAIDERS'
°) the 2 in case you are worried that the character "=" appears in your list elements

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).
