Sorry I am beginner in perl just starting hence if there are mistake please oblige. Here is the problem I am executing subroutine in perl script it returns me output dynamically in array format @outputArray 
outputarray[0]=name  ip  port 
outputarray[1]=------------------------------------ 
outputarray[2]=http-listener-1  *        6712
outputarray[3]=http-listener-2  *        4743

I can also get the output array as like below also if i want 
outputarray[0]=http-listener-1  *             6712
outputarray[1]=http-listener-2  *           4743

I want to write a subroutine which will check whether port exists and if exists returns me true and the listener name if not it returns me false and null getListenerName($porttobeChecked) This subroutine returns me the name of the listener if i pass a port. Eg: If $porttobechecked=6712 I want to return an array a[0]=TRUE and a1=http-listener-1(listener name) If port to be checked = 4516.I want to return an array a[0]=FALSE and a1=null .Help required
