Greetings Fellow Monks:
I am in serious need of your wisdom and help.
The goal is to list the contents of a directory (no problem)
and do something with the files that contain,match via grep to specific patterns; one that will always be at the start of the file, and the other somewhere in the middle of the filename. In other words I want to match a file, for example, that has to contain STR1 at the beginning, and _STR2_ (the underscores are required), somewhere in the middle.
With the correct regex:
STR1some_STR2_file.txt would match
.whereas.
STR1some_STR2file.txt would NOT match
with the code below I have managed to get the qualifier for the beginning of the string to be matched, however to have both matches I have no clue. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use FileHandle;

my $localdir="C:\\PROJECTS\\";

my $id="LWX1";
opendir LOCALDIR, "$localdir";
my @local_files = grep /^$id/i, readdir LOCALDIR;
###my guess fr both would be this: (doesn't work)
###where "_arbv_" is the 2nd string that must be matched
#my @local_files = grep /^$id&&_arbv_/i, readdir LOCALDIR;
closedir LOCALDIR;

##determine which files to download
    foreach my $local (@local_files)
    {
        
        print "$local\n";
    
    }

Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated. For I am stumped with this one! Thanks in advance.
