I'm running into issue while reading a file and matching the pattern

File content
============
1: Recturing Svc
2: Finance
    :
    :
9: Payments
    :
    :
19: Mobile
     :
     :
29: Bankers

My Code looks like this 

open(INPUTFILE,"<$conf_file") or die("unable to open text file");
 foreach (<INPUTFILE>) {
   print "$_";
}
close INPUTFILE ;
print "Please choose a number from the list above: ";
    chop($input=<STDIN>);
    $input=trim($input);
print "Your Choice was: $input \n";
$TEMP="$input:";
open(INPUTFILE,"<$conf_file") or die("unable to open text file for com
+parision");
foreach $line(<INPUTFILE>) {
if($line =~ /$TEMP/) {
print " exact match: $& \n" ;
print " after match: $' \n" ;
$svc = $';
print "ServiceL $svc \n";
}
}
close INPUTFILE ;

As said it is matching multiple ones for example 9: and 19: and 29: when I select i.e. enter 9
