grep EXPR, LIST
Evaluates the BLOCK or EXPR for each element of LIST (locally setting $_ to each element) and returns the list value consisting of those elements for which the expression evaluated to true.
So, in this case, grep takes a list and returns a list.
my @list = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
my @result = grep $_ > 2, @list;
print "@result";
3 4 5
You could probably get away with something like
if (exists $item_lookup{$name}){
print qq{$name has $item_lookup{$name}};
else{
print qq{$name is missing $item_lookup{$name};
}
in your for loop.

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).
