You can find the line without splitting first:

chomp @file;

my @matches = grep { $file[$_] =~ /^\Q$storeline|\E/ } 0..$#file;
no_match($storeline), return unless @matches;
duped_ids($storeline), return if @matches > 1;

my ($number, $image, $name, $text, $used) = split /\|/, $file[$matches
+[0]];
# do what you do modifying those vars

$file[$matches[0]] = join '|', $number, $image, $name, $text, $used;

rename '/path/to/info/smileset.txt', '/path/to/info/smileset.bak' or d
+ie $!;
open FLE, '>', '/path/to/info/smileset.txt' or die $!;
print FLE $_, $/ for @file;
close FLE or die $!;

After Compline,
Zaxo

sub edit_set {
if($q->param('text') eq '') { print "You need to enter in smile name
<br><br> <a href=\"JavaScript:history.back(1)\">&lt;&lt;Back</a>"; }
else {
$storeline = $q->param('id');

open(FILE, "info/smileset.txt");
@file = <FILE>;
close(FILE);

chomp @file;

my @matches = grep { $file[$_] =~ /^\Q$storeline|\E/ } 0..$#file;
no_match($storeline), return unless @matches;
duped_ids($storeline), return if @matches > 1;

my ($number, $image, $name, $text, $used) = split /\|/, $file[$matches
+[0]];
$number = $storeline;
$image = $q->param('image');
$name = $q->param('text');
$text = $q->param('alt');
$used = $q->param('use');

$file[$matches[0]] = join '|', $number, $image, $name, $text, $used;

rename 'info/smileset.txt', 'info/smileset.bak' or die $!;
open FLE, '>', 'info/smileset.txt' or die $!;
print FLE $_, $/ for @file;
close FLE or die $!;

And the question is?

What's causing the error? A missing right curly or square bracket at line 495 seems more than descriptive.

You should be aware that it might not be located exactly at line 495.

sub name { }

You ought to read perlstyle and improve the readability of your code (it'll help you spot errors like these almost instantly).

Here is a good read on debugging (link care of jepri ).

update: I don't know what a "certain" array is, but i'd suggest you check out perlfunc:undef and perldata (perlfunc:delete is not what you're looking for).
