To clarify the question.
I have a data file which I bring in as an array
It prints out like this 
1028804576  nasa@dodo.com.au  name  password
1028804590  nasa@dodo.com.au  name2  pass2
1028804598  who@where.com     again  anouther

The other array I have is from a form with two entries.

I need to check the form entries against the data base file to see if they exist or not. as password protection.
Of course the two form entries can end up $hit and $strike
the data base ends up @raw_data
I tried this .

  my $flag = 0;
  for (@raw_data) {
  if (/$hit[0]/ || /$strike[1]/) {
  print "Found it.";
  $flag = 1;
  last;
  }
  }
  if (! $flag) { # didn't find it in the array
  print "didnt find it";
  }

No matter what I type in the form or whats in the data base it always comes back
Found it.
May god bless you guys...Nasa.
