I've fixed my code using your suggestions and some other things, now my code looks like this:

"shell.sh"
Code:
#!/bin/sh

FILE=$1

if [ -z $FILE ]; then
    echo "Please enter a filename"
    read FILE
    if [ -z $FILE ]; then
        echo "You must enter a filename, e.g:"
        echo "./shell.sh foo.bar"
        exit    
    fi
else
    cat < $FILE
    while [ "$option" != 4 ]
    do
        echo "Enter a selection:\n"
        echo "1) Sort data in shell"
        echo "2) Sort data in Perl"
        echo "3) Search for a word in Perl"
        echo "4) Exit"
        read option
        case $option in
            1) ./sideShell.sh $FILE;;
            2) ./perl001.pl $FILE;;
            3) ./perl002.pl $FILE;;            
        esac
    done
    echo "'Respect.' -Seth"
    exit
fi

"sideShell.sh"
Code:
#!/bin/sh

FILE=$1

echo "Please enter a new filename\n"
read NEWFILE
if [ $NEWFILE == "" ]
then
echo "You must enter a new filename"
exit
else
sort $FILE > $NEWFILE
echo "Finished"
fi

"perl001.pl"
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use 5.010;

use warnings;

$FILE1=shift;
print "Enter a new filename\n";
$FILE2=<STDIN>;


open(OUTPUT, "|sort $FILE1 > $FILE2");
close OUTPUT;

print "Finished\n";

"perl002.pl"
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use 5.010;

$look=shift;
open(FILE, "<$look");
print "Enter a word to search for\n";
$find=<STDIN>;

print "Lines that matched $find\n";
my @file_array = <FILE>;
while (<@file_array>)
{
    foreach my $line (@file_array)
    {
            if ($line =~ m/$find/i)
        {
                print "The word $find is found on line $line\n";
          }
        else
        { 
            print "Not found\n"; 
        }
    }
}

close FILE;

When I run the "perl002.pl" script with a file "text" as the argument, and I search for the word "you", it works but I guess this crazy output that looks something like this (cycled many times):
Code:
Not found 
Not found 
Not found 
Not found 
Not found 
Not found 
Not found 
Not found 
Not found 
Not found 
The word you 
 is found on line you 
 
Not found 
Not found 
Not found 
The word you 
 is found on line you 
 
Not found 
Not found 
Not found 
The word you 
 is found on line you 
 
Not found 
Not found 
Not found 
Not found

Any idea how to get it to display the number line it's on? I thought of adding a counting integer variable to the code which would increment "++" if it finds a match, but not sure if that would work right? I also would like to swap the case switch for an if loop so I can keep the shell sort function in the same shell (and not have to call a second shell), unless you know how I can put multiple lines of code in a case switch (not just one thing; I've tried to put multiple lines in a case but cannot get that to work right)?
