I'm trying to figure out what you want this script to do, and I'm coming up blank. The best I can do for turning it into anything meaningful is as follows:
open my $datfh, '<', 'C:\begperl\my scripts\cdata.txt' or die "Couldn'
+t open file: $!\n";
while (<$datfh>) {
print "**** Processing new input line\n";
my @fields = (map {
s/^\s+//; s/\s+$//; # eliminate irrelevant spaces
$_
} split /\|/, $_);
for my $i (0 .. $#fields) {
print " * '$fields[$i]'\n" unless $fields[$i] =~ /\r|\n/;
}
}
This, of course, doesn't actually do anything. It just reads reads the file and tells you what it's reading, which you could have got just about as well by opening the file itself in a text editor and looking at it. But from just reading the information you gave us, I wasn't able to figure out what processing you wanted the script to do.

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).
