I need to provide a search option for the user where they search for a name and it returns the address of the user they entered.
$loopIndex = 0;
$input = <STDIN>;
chomp($input);
foreach (@a)
{
if($_ =~ m/<name> [A-Z]/)
{
print "Contact: @a[$loopIndex -1]" ;
}
$loopIndex++;
}
I am not sure what needs to be added to this or if it is even close! appreaciate your help
EDIT: The data is being pulled from an xml file. I am searching for the name but need to read back other elements such as address from the xml.

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).
