This works:
@list = qw(
fred
20.4
harv
5.6
tony
5.13
dennis
401.1
);
$i="harv";
foreach $list(@list) {
if($i eq $list) {
print "YES!\n";
}
}
Suggest you add open (FILE, "input.dat") or die "Oops can't open input.dat Perl says $!\n"; which will *probably* tell you that
perl cna't find your file. Also you don't need to push your data into an array as you do but that is by the by.

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.
