1. You are missing ";"
Type
`egrep $name testing.txt`;
And not
'egrep $name testing.txt'

When I use the following portion of Perl code:
__
#!/usr/bin/perl
# use with:
# perl IfThenElse tfcfam (Use all of this at the command line!)
use strict;
use warnings;
print "Search by name: ";
my $name = ;
'egrep $name testing.txt'
#my(@col1, @c
