> return shouldn't be the correct mechanism to tell grep true/false.
One quirk in Perl is that blocks of grep and map are (unfortunately) not anonymous subs.
Such that return tries to exit any surrounding sub and not the block!
Though you are able to either pass a real sub:
> perl
my @x=1..10;
my @re=qw/ 3 7 1 /;
sub check {
for my $re (@re) {
return 1 if $_ =~ /$re/
}
return 0;
}
print grep &check, @x;
__END__

see also any in List::MoreUtils if you dont wanna reinvent the wheel! =)

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.
