The choosed quoting operator above won't give a mess.
Better use single quotes; nothing must be interpolated.

You have to choose qq() above, which does not conflict with the double quotes
around $hexval but interpolates it.
see perldoc perlop (in the bottom part, "Interpolation")

the s/// here substitutes the whole string with $newval.
I guess what you want is something like:
s/(hba0-SCSI-target-id-1-name=).*/$1$newval/;
or
s/(hba0-SCSI-target-id-1-name=").*?(")/$1$newval$2/;
or
s/(hba0-SCSI-target-id-1-name=).*/$1"$newval"/;
But I'm confused: Did you mean $hexval?

What qla2300.h file? The file you print @output into?

s/old/new will only replace patterns in $_ .
