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

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.
