Unfortunately, I can tell you what the code is doing, but I can only guess and infer your intentions, and that's the hard part. If you were to post a few representative lines of $input_file and an example of the expected result to be saved in $output_file, I am sure many people would be happy to help. And we, both, might learn something along the way.

This is an example of how you might be able to insert an extra member at the header line and later output with tabs

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
my @header = (
    "Index",
    "Chromosome Position",
    "Gene",
    "Inheritance",
    "RNA Accession",
    "Chr",
    "Coverage",
    "Score",
    "A(#F,#R)",
    "C(#F,#R)",
    "G(#F,#R)",
    "T(#F,#R)",
    "Ins(#F,#R)",
    "Del(#F,#R)",
    "SNP db_xref",
    "Mutation Call",
    "Mutant Allele Frequency",
    "Amino Acid Change",
    "HP",
    "SPLICE",
    "Pseudogene",
    "Classification",
    "HGMD",
    "Disease",
    "Sanger",
    "References",
);

# to be inserted after "Amino Acid Change" header member
my $nineteenth_member = "Heredity";

# insert into @header members
splice @header, 18, 0, $nineteenth_member;

$" = "\t"; # output separator for print when interpolating

# every element of @header will be separated by tab
print "@header\n";


splice works as well for inserting an array in the middle of another array

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env perl

my @numbers = qw( 1 2 3 4 );

my @fractions = qw( 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 );

splice @numbers, 3, 0, @fractions;

{
    local $" = ",";
    print "@numbers\n";
}

print "@numbers\n";


Code:
perl example2.pl
1,2,3,3.1,3.2,3.3,3.4,4
1 2 3 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 4
