Hi everybody. Being relatively new to perl is am still having problems applying what I know to my needs. How do I impose a condition in an if cicle for matching the first word of a string part of an @AoA data structure with the first word of a string in another array? My goal is then to add the second word of the first string to the second string. Thank you all very much in advance 

my($other_array) = '';
foreach $other_array (@other_array){
    foreach my$arr (@AoA){
        foreach my$sca (@$arr){
            $sca
            if (($sca =~ m/\w+/g)[0] eq ($uniq_kmers =~ m/\w+/g)[0]){
                $uniq_kmers =~ "\t".($sca =~ m/\w+/g)[1];
                }else{
                $uniq_kmers =~ "\t0";
                }
            }
        }
    }
