Hello, I'm trying to compare 2 variables and my code states the variable exists in the file which it doesn't. I have a file with the word "TEMPDB" and I altered the word read in to be compared. The checks states variable exists. I think I tried most things, please help. Thanks. 
sub check_server_exist
{

my($svr) = "\Uempdb";  ### altered word ####
my(@sql_in) = "d:\\tmp\\sql.txt";

##### Open file, if server name exists, will close if true ###
@check_name = ();
open(sql_ini, "< @sql_in") or die "can't open the file: @sql_in $! \n"
+;  ## Open existing file
        while (<sql_ini>) { ## { print "$_"; } ;              ## Readi
+ng every line in the file
           
           chomp;             # no newline
           s/#.*//;                # no comments
           s/^\s+//;               # no leading white
           s/\s+$//;               # no trailing white
          
          #push(@check_name, $_); }
          print "This is the server name: $svr\n";
if ($_ =~ m/${svr}/ || $_ =~ m/${svr}_BACKUP/ || $_ =~ m/${svr}_REP/ |
+| $_ =~ m/${svr}_RSM/ || $_ =~ m/${svr}_XP/)
                { print "Server name exists\n\n"; &leave }
        
                   }
};
