break out my foreach loop

hmb104 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

How I can break out my foreach loop?

I'm checking if IP exists on a Cisco routing table, if it does then we can get more info. I want to say if the IP doesn't exist then break the loop with error. I have the following and it works great until I enter a non-valid IP which doesn't exist on my router:

foreach $match ( @Output ) { if ( $match =~ m/^Routing entry for / ) { @Data = split( ' ', $match ); $octet = $Data[ 3 ] ; last ; } } my @routing = split( /\./, $octet );

How I can add to say if m/^Routing entry for / didn't show up in all lines then die()? I have tried many ways and it never works

    Put my $octet; # or $octet = undef before the loop and do die "Some message" unless $octet; after the loop.

      Thanks lidden, it works as intended. Is there a way to remove the error line from the die() msg?

      ERROR: IP not range: at /home/skippy/ip2log.pl line 177.

      Thanks for the heads up

        die "Some message\n";

    Or make it a sub so you can return an empty list if not found:

    use feature ":5.14"; use warnings FATAL => qw(all); use strict; use Data::Dump qw(dump pp); sub match($) { my ($Output) = @_; for my $match ( @$Output ) { if ( $match =~ m/^Routing entry for / ) { my @Data = split( ' ', $match ); my $octet = $Data[ 3 ] ; return split( /\./, $octet ) } } () } say "@{[match([split /\n/, <<'END'])]}"; a b c Routing entry for 1.2.3.4 END

    Produces

    Somewhat more concise code:
    my $octetstr; ($octetstr)= m/^Routing entry for\s+([\d\.]+)/ and last for @Output; die "No Routing address found in \@Output\n" unless $octetstr;
    Update: If this is IPV4, you can extract the octets of the IP using
    my @Route; @Route= m/^Routing entry for\s+(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)/ and last fo +r @Output; die "No Routing address found in \@Output\n" unless @Route;

                 I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it.
