You'll need to show us some example lines/records from your $genpept file to clarify what you are trying to achieve. Your code looks wrong on a number of levels. For example, you're opening the file but not actually reading from it (or even checking that the open succeeded). Also, the quoting around $genpept in open(my $in,"$genpept") is pointless.
If you want to slurp the whole file into the $in variable, you need something like:
open(my $fhin, '<', $genpept) or die "open '$genpept': $!";
undef $/;
my $in = <$fhin>;
Alternatively, if the file consists of multiple lines, it seems better to not slurp the whole file, but to read it line by line:
while (my $in = <$fhin>) {
# ... split etc. done once for each line $in.
}

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).
