Why not drop it in an array and split it and work with it from there? I am not sure
what your final goal is but this way you can work with each field independently and
check if your address_line_2 is blank.
open(FILE,$file) || die "could not open $file";
while() {
@data = split(/|/,$_);
}
There is a book by o'reily mastering Perl/TK that is all about making Perl GUI
interfaces. I have done very little with it at this point, but if you pick up the
book it should get you started.
