Which should be the keys and which should be the values?  How are you
analyzing the values?

How long will each of these blocks between <ICE-GB... be?  It will probably
be easier to work on a whole block at once, rather than line by line.

Don't forget to check the return values of system calls!

open(FILE, $icedata) or die "Can't open $icedata: $!\n";

That part is redundant; you don't need to match twice.

    if ($file =~ s/$faktor/ /) {

That's redundant too; either /$faktor/ matches or it doesn't.

    } else {

This block will never be entered.

I have some ideas on ways to do this, but I'd like to know the details
I asked about before I write any code.
