Implemented the code and it works but have some more things to be added 
foreach $inputline (@input_array) {
        my @inputline = split(/\|/, $inputline);
        $inputline[8] = "Other Application event";
        my $lastColumn = "#>";
        push @inputline, $lastColumn;

        #Check ETYPE and change EOUTCOME
        if ($inputline[2] eq 'INFO') {
                $inputline[5] = "INFO";
        } elsif ($inputline[2] eq 'ERROR') {
                $inputline[5] = "ERROR";
        }

        #Check EMSG and create new field next to it
        foreach $configline (@cfg_array) {
                my @configline_array = split(/\|/, $configline);
                shift @configline_array;
                for $configitem (@configline_array) {
                        if($inputline[6] =~ $configitem) {
                                my $lastColumn = pop @inputline;
                                $inputline[8] = $configline_array[0];
                                push @inputline, $lastColumn;
                                last;
                        }
                }
        }
        $line = join('|', @inputline);
        print $output_fh $line, "\n";

if($inputline6 =~ $configitem) { In this line which comparison operator shud be put so that if the string I am searching for is "exception" but the line in the file might contain "MessageException" or "Message.Exception" .So primarily to ignore CASE or it could be part of word. Any help on this??
