Subject: matching elements from array and print the results line by line from log file

Hi,
I have a list of element in array that I would like to match the
pattern in logs file. I have hard time take element from array and
matching it. More then weeks now and don't know where to find in man
page. please help me. Here is my code.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
open ( FILE, " /var/log/cisco.log " ) || die "can't open cisco.log
file!";
@cisco.log = <FILE>;
close (FILE);

@array = qw( BPDUGUARD FAN_FAIL ); # more then 2 elements in array

while (<@cisco.log>){
foreach $line (@array){
$_ =~ $line; #DOESN'T WORK AND I AM STUCK..
print "$_\n"; #WANT TO PRINT THAT MATCH
}
}


__END__

Try this and let me know if it works...


#!/usr/bin/perl -w
open ( FILE, "/var/log/cisco.log " ) || die "can't open cisco.log file!";
@cisco = <FILE>;
close (FILE);
@array = qw( BPDUGUARD FAN_FAIL ); # more then 2 elements in array
foreach $line (@cisco) {
foreach $string (@array) {
if ($line =~ $string) { print "$line $string"; }
}
}
