Hi, I am trying to remove lines from a file when i match a value in each line of a file against numbers stored in an array 

while (<IN>) {
chomp;

/^\s+(\S+)/;

push @array, $1;

             }
close (IN);


foreach $line (@array) {
chomp;

print "$line\n";

foreach $line2 (<IN2>) {

$line2  =~/^\s+\S+\s+\S+\s+(\S+)/;


if ($line == $1) {remove line};


}

}

however it only appears to match the first value in the array and nothing else, when it should. I have checked the array to make sure values are stored
