Hello monks, I need to seek your help again. What i am trying to accomplish is to read through a text file and grab values from strings (values from a certain, non-fixed line position in a file with non-fixed index position. What i would like to accomplish is the end up with a new array containing the values i am trying to match. I seem to be unable to break the strings into pieces in either @ or $ format. Can you please help me? Thank you in advance!

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use warnings;
use strict;
#use diagnostics;
use Data::Dumper qw (Dumper);

my $inputfile = $ARGV[0];
my @filedata;
my $pattern = /^(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4
+][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25
+[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\/[0-9]?[0-9]$/;
my @temps;
my $counter = 0;

open (INPUT, "<$inputfile") or die "no file for proccessing provided o
+r existing";

while (<INPUT>)
        {
                push (@filedata, $_);
        }
foreach (@filedata)
        {
        if ($_ =~ /$pattern/)
            {
                $counter++;
                #my $temp = (split ' ', $_);
                push (@temps, (split /\s/,$_));
                }
        }
close INPUT;

#print "@temps\n";
#
foreach (@temps)
    {
    if ($_ =~ /$pattern/)
        {
        print "$_\n";
        }
    }


print "Found $counter matches!\n";
