Hi,
I want to search through a file for some keywords...and if a line within the file contains the keyword..I want it to print out that line to another file.
I am trying the following but it gives the error: syntax error at test.pl line 9, near ") print" Execution of test.pl aborted due to compilation errors. 
@keywords = ("keyword1", "keyword2", "keyword3");
while (<SEARCHFILE>)  {
if ($_ = @keywords) 
print $_;
}

Contents of File1:
somelines...
somelines...
somewords...keyword1..somewords
somelines...
somewords...
keyword2...somewords...

I am very new to Perl...can someone please help me with this? Thank you.
