I am working on the next part of this assignment, and having an issue utilizing an else statement. Using the above coding already in place I inputted this coding 
print "Enter a target value to search for:";
use List::MoreUtils;
chomp (my $search = <STDIN>);
my $index = List::MoreUtils::first_index {$_ eq $search} @array;
if ($search) {
    print "The last occurence of $search is at index: $index\n";
} else {
    print "Target is not found\n";
}

So the code runs, and asks for a target to search for. If its a number displayed, and I enter that number it tells me which index it is. If I enter a number that is not displayed I should see - Target is not found. So for instance the number 100 is not displayed. I see - The last occurrence of 100 is at index -1.
