You better move that array splitting into your conditional, like so:
if (m/zaps/i) {
@zapschool = split (/\t/);
print NEWFILE "$zapschool[4]\n";
}
That will give you a performance boost because in your code all line get split, here just the neccessary lines.
Please note (good to impress your boss :) that you can do this in a oneliner:
C:\>perl -naF/\t/ -e "print qq($F[4]\n) if /zaps/" infile>outfile
or the counting:
C:\>perl -naF/\t/ -e "$hash{$F[4]}++ if /zaps/;END{print qq($_\t$hash{
+$_}\n) for sort keys %hash}" infile>outfile

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).
