I don't know if you're doing what you intended here...
You are looping over @vname, setting $line to the current element and chomping it, then you are using the manual loop number $j to get that same element of @vname. You might want to replace the $vname[$j] with $line and remove the line $j++. Otherwise you are repeating things.
And the regex should probably be $line=~/"$request"/i.

Updated: Yeah for my $j (0..$#vname) was the other construct I would have recommended if I'd noticed that $email[$j] there, hmmm...don't know why I missed seeing that. Oh well.

And the quotes might or might not be supposed to be there, probably not though, I should have guessed he didn't know regex that well when I saw the 'i' in the wrong place.
