There are a few things we can fix:
foreach my $ref ( @products )
{
# Try using the standard regex delimiters (if you use
# '()' then you must use a 'm' in front)
if ($ref->{prodname} =~ /$value/ )
{
# Use the good things about Perl! Heredocs are
# easy to use and understand
print <<PROD;
<B>$ref->{prodname}</B><br>
<IMG SRC="$ref->{img1}"><br>
$ref->{prodprice}<br>
<a href="shopper.exe?preadd=action;key=$ref->{prodcode}">
Add to Cart</a><br>
<hr>
PROD
# Why don't we try to check the error returned and
# see what file we were opening?
my $textfile = $ref->{prodname};
eval {
open (INF, $textfile)
|| die "Can't open file ($textfile): $!" };
if ( $@ ) {
print "Found an error!\n$@\n";
}
else {
my @scoop = <INF>;
close (INF);
print "@scoop";
}
}
}
Tracing what you're actually trying to do is usually
all the debugging you need :-)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
