Hi Monks!

Trying to search for a value into this array ref using “ grep” to avoid using a loop in the code, It isn’t working, can anyone suggest where it can be fixed or done better?
Here is the code I am using to try this:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $data = [
          {
            'date' => '20160101',
            'day' => 'Friday'
          },
          {
            'date' => '20160215',
            'day' => 'Monday'
          },
          {
            'date' => '20160530',
            'day' => 'Monday'
          },
          {
            'date' => '20160704',
            'day' => 'MOnday'
          },
          {
            'date' => '20160905',
            'day' => 'Monday'
          },
          {
            'date' => '20161010',
            'day' => 'Monday'
          },
          {
            'date' => '20161124',
            'day' => 'Thursday'
          },
          {
            'date' => '20161125',
            'day' => 'Friday'
          },
          {
            'date' => '20161226',
            'day' => 'Monday'
          },
          {
            'date' => '20170102',
            'day' => 'Monday'
          }

 ];

my $search = "20161010";

my $result = ( grep( /^$search$/, @{ $data } ) ) ? 'Found' : 'Not Foun
+d';

print $result."\n";
