Sorry, I am taking the input and extracting $1, $2, $3, and $5. Using this information to create an output file that will add user data for generation into a mysql database.
I have been tasked to bring the limping version of the script into a production environment. It is a disaster, about 250 lines of code, 8 loops mixed with if conditions, and about 30 separate awk statements all piped with about 4 or 5 commands each. I have a light bulb idea of a better way to do it, but am still pretty new.

NAME
bp_meta_gff.pl - Get/set Bio::DB::GFF meta-data SYNOPSIS
# set the following meta data values % bp_meta_gff.pl -d testdb tag1=value1 tag2=value2 # get the indicated meta data value % bp_meta_gff.pl -d testdb tag1 tag2 DESCRIPTION
This script gets or sets metadata in a Bio::DB::GFF database. Not all adaptors support this operation! To set a series of tags, pass a set of tag=value pairs to the script. To get the contents of a series of tags, pass the bare tag names. The output from the get operation will be an easily parseable set of tag=value pairs, one per line. COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS Command-line options can be abbreviated to single-letter options. e.g. -d instead of --database. --database <dsn> Mysql database name (default dbi:mysql:test) --adaptor <adaptor> Mysql adaptor (default dbi::mysqlopt) --user <user> Username for mysql authentication --pass <password> Password for mysql authentication SEE ALSO
