Monks Please Help....I have a standard email parsing program which stores each line of the body of an email as an element in an array. I am parsing through these elements to extract data and save it in a database. Here is the problem the only way I could get the script to work is in the following format. This format works for most cases, but once I have found the string I am searching for I want to skip ahead one or two elements in the array. I realize this is probably a simple problem, I greatly appreciate all the help you are willing to give. 
$msg = Mail::Internet->new([ <> ]);
$from = $msg->get('From');
$msg->combine('To');
$to = $msg->get('To');
$subject = $msg->get('Subject');
$body = $msg->body();

foreach (@$body){
        if (($_ =~ $x) or ($_ =~ $y)){
           chop $_;
           $array[9][1] = $_;
        }
}

Typically to advance the array an element or two I would use: 
$i++;
$array[9][1] = $body[$i];

But this doesn't seem to work.
