Here you are reading each line into $data

if (/beth/) { #matches only if beth is in line

No. I am saying you should make up your mind if you want to use the
default $_ or your own $data. Either is ok, but not both.

I do not make difference between the two. This is new to me.

Oh come on! Do you really expect if you are setting one variable named $data
another totally unrelated variable named $_ would magically assume the same
value? How long have you been programming?

I guess I will sue the default one.

Ok, then don't assign the read line to $data:

while (<$fh>) {
