Also, that just gets a line that ends in "n". If you really want the second word, you could do:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $infile="infile";
open (INFILE,"<$infile");

while (<INFILE>) {
        chomp($_);
         @words=split(/ /,$_);
        if ($words[1] =~ /n$/) {
                print $words[0] . " " . $words[1] . "\n";
        }
}

Or something similar (that was off the cuff, I'd be surprised if it ran.)
