Re^3: Multiline match

hdb's point was your code boils down to 'patch-5.1.1.21510' =~ /patch-5.1.1.21510.gpg/;, which is backwards from what you need. The behavior you seek would look more like

my @array = split('\n',$output);
if (  grep { 'patch-5.1.1.21510.gpg' =~ /\Q$_\E/  } @array ) {
      print "Match found\n";
}

Though, as implemented, you'd have problems because of whitespace. For this case, you'd probably be better off using index.
