Hi SilverWol,
choroba has corrected your errors and solved your issue, but I would suggest a slightly different approach based on the fact that the @hub array isn't really necessary: you can print out the data as soon as you've isolated the gene that needs to be printed. Something like this (untested):
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
open my $HUBFILE, '<', '1048_undefined.tsv' or die $!;
open my $OUT, '>', 'hubs.txt' or die $!;
while (my $line = <$HUBFILE>) {
my $gene = $1 if $line =~ /\d \t (\w+) \t/x;
print $OUT, $gene, "\n";
}
close $_ for ($HUBFILE, $OUT);
The code is slightly shorter and probably slightly faster, but the main advantage is that this will work even with a huge input file, while the solution with an intermediate array might fail if the array grows to big for your available memory.
Update: corrected the name of the addressee at the top of this post (wrong copy and paste, I guess). Thanks to choroba for pointing it out the error.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
