Yet again I am slightly lost,
It runs perfectly, however the array that prints at the bottom of the script that calls $city clearly has no value for $city.
As always thank everyone who takes the time to help and explain what I am missing!.

print "Excuse Generator\n\n\n";

my @myCities = ('Baltimore','Chicago','Los Angeles','New York','San Di
+ego');

my $found=0;

print "Please pick one of the following cities by entering any portion
+ of the beginning of the city name:(@myCities)\n";
chomp(my $input_city = <STDIN> );
if ( $input_city =~ m/^l/i ) {
        print "We no longer tour the city of Angels, please try again\
+n";
        exit;
}
foreach my $city ( @myCities ) {
        if ($city =~ /^$input_city/i ) {
                print "Found $city\n";
                $found = 1;
                next;
        }
}
        if ($found == 0) {
                print "No City found!\n";
}
my %num2mon = (
           "1" => "January",
           "2" => "February",
           "3" => "March",

+\n";

        @myArray = (
        "\nHi Steve, \n\n",
        "I'm looking forward to the Perl class. \n",
        "I just want to let you know that I won't be in class on the f
+ollowing days:\n\n",
        "\ $num2mon{$month} $days\n\n",
        "I'm touring $city with my dance band, Liquid Blue!\n\n",
        "Thanks,\n",
