I think your issue is with lines 106 & 107 in the perl script.

You're calling 'next' when you encounter the "abqenv () {" line - BEFORE 
you're adding that line to the @newfile array.

I didn't debug the entire thing, but it also looks like you're doing the 
same thing with the "}" (line 109 in the perl script).

Hopefully this helps.
