You don't want help with your script, you want it written for you.
That's not what we do here. Make an effort of your own. If you have
problems, show what you have and we may help you correct it.

Thanks for letting us know about your needs.

Would you mind showing us the code you have written so far, and letting
us know which difficulties you encountered?

Perl is not really the right language for this. Consider using Ruby.

Please don't nudge it so it returns!

You are right. I should know better.

Consider putting more effort into expressing what it is you want.
People will probably not write the code for you anyway, but it's good
practice (and I don't mean good English practice, but it is that
too). How is that variable to be "filled", for example?

You can do that in Perl. But you must first FTP the text file to an
intermediate site in Belgum. Then you cobble together LWP and IO:All
to create a virtual FTP filesystem to access the file (because that's
the only way that Perl can access files). You must then convert the
file to UniCode and then to binary (you must go through unicode first
to avoid seven or eight bit binary character representations). Then
convert your search string to Unicode and then to binary (you can't
search binary unicode with an ASCII search term, you know). Then open
the file and check if your pattern matches the first X bits (where X is
the length of your search term). If it does not, shift the file one bit
to the left and test again. Keep doing this until it either matches or
you reach EOF.

This is the usual manner of parsing files in Perl. You ought to be
able to do it in only a few dozen lines of code.

Cheers!
