See:

FIND_MATCH:
{
  foreach my $a (@array)
  {
    if( $hash{$a} eq 'correct_value' )
    {
      print 'Success';
      last FIND_MATCH;
    }
  }
  warn "Didn't find a suitable match!";
}

By targeting the last at the outer block, if you find a match, you completely exit that block. Otherwise, if you make it all the way through the foreach loop without a match, you will hit the warning message right before exiting the block.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
