hello monks

I am having problem in parsing the output from the CSV file. I want to add pipe symbol in between the character to do mutliple search similar to egrep 

open(my $data, '<', $Config_File) or die "Could not open '$Config_File
+' $!\n";
   my $reg_exp;
   my $severity;
   my @fields=();
   while (my $line = <$data>) 
   {  
     chomp $line;   
     if(!$line =~ /^$/)
     {
     @fields = split "," , $line;
     $reg_exp = $fields[0];
     $severity = $fields[1]; 
     print $reg_exp;
     }
     }
         
     #print $fields[0];
     #last unless defined $line;
    
   close($data)    ;
