Hi monks
I am making an array by reading a partiular file which contains information in the format 
# SNMP manager 1 settings

manager.1.address=127.0.0.1
manager.1.port=162
manager.1.version=2
manager.1.community=public

Now a user is typing a particular address lets say 127.0.0.1 Now i want to find that is there any manager with this adress and if its there then what is its index into the array.I am wriiting an approach but its not giving the index. lets say $address is user input.Plz help. 
open(READ, "$var:$ENV{JBOSS_HOME}/conf/manager.properties");
my @contents = <READ>
close(READ)
foreach(@contents) {
       if(m/manager\.(\d*)\.address=(\d*\.\d*\.\d*\.\d*)/) {
       if($address eq "$2"){
            $_ = "manager.$1.address=$2\n";
            print "exist\n";
        }
    }
}
