Conas tá, mo chara Monk.(Alright Monks)

You helped me a while back(here and here) with a game I'm writing. I'm still having problems. It seems to be very hard to structure right.
Any who, the current problem is array related. The array is like so.
@array = ( 'north#library , 'south#kitchen', 'east#hallway')

You see its a fairly simple array pattern, you have you command on the left and the result on the right. I want to search through the array for the correct command and then assign the result to a variable called $location for examples sake, and if it doesn't find the command return an error message. I know that its probrably simple but I'm lost. Thanks.


P.s I've got this other problem aswell all this script does is print out the first few lines and I can't figure out why. Heres the code...

###main.pl

use actions;
use subs;


print "Welcome to watever.\n";
print "This game will lead you through many perils and dangers that co
+uld lead to your death.etc etc \n";
print "ONLY THE STRONG WILL SURVIVE";

my $data = "whatever" ;
my $action;
my @items= ();
my $location = "hall";
my $health = "full";

&main($data, $location);

sub main{
my( $data, $location ) = @_;
while(<1>){
$data = &data($location);
print $data;
print "\n\n";
print "What do you want to do?? \n";
print "(type h for help.)\n";
print "Do what??\\: ";
my $action = <>;
my $noun = &action($action, $location);
print $noun;
}
}

Thanking you in advance.
All the Best, Eoin...

If everything seems to be going well, you obviously don't know what the hell is going on.
