> OUTPUT -- I opened another file here to write output
These two lines r just to say how I'm proceeding...

"Can't modify constant item in scalar assignment at test_script.pl line 1,
near "
);"
syntax error at test_script.pl line 13, near "strings["
Execution of test_script.pl aborted due to compilation errors."

If it's correct, it doesn't need to be modified, does it? :-)
If you want help with your errors, you need to *tell us what the error
message was*!
Is the text above literally what you wrote? If so, it can't work --
INPUT isn't a valid variable name (it needs to have a 'sigil', like $,
@, or %) and the "OUTPUT -- I..." line just looks like a comment. I
assume that isn't really your code, is it?
Please show the list exactly what you're doing and what's happening when
you try to do it: what the exact statements are to declare your input
and output files are, what the while{} loop is (this appears complete,
but I want to be sure), and what the error message was.
