Both preceding answers are excellent; one tells you how to find the answer, the other shows it to you.
I would add that if you are manually processing each element of the array, you may be doing it the hard way:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# testgreparray.pl - Check behavior of grep on arrays
use strict;
my @cmdrsp = (
'This is a test.',
'A booger a day keeps the doctor at bay.',
'Blimey, laddy, it\'s a booger!'
);
if (grep(/booger/, @cmdrsp)) {
print "Found it the easy way\n";
}
my @searsp = grep(/booger/, @cmdrsp);
my $seacnt = @searsp;
if ($seacnt) {
print "Found it the hard way\n";
}

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).
