Grep to find item in Perl array

Question

Every time I input something the code always tells me that it exists. But I know some of the inputs do not exist. What is wrong?

#!/usr/bin/perl

@array = <&g         


        

Answer 1

I could happen that if your array contains the string "hello", and if you are searching for "he", grep returns true, although, "he" may not be an array element.

Perhaps,

if (grep(/^$match$/, @array)) more apt.
