For starters, the order of your loop and your conditional are backwards. There's no reason to check for a match for each element of @array.
foreach my $elem (@array){
$searchTitle=$array[0];
if ($searchTitle=~/(?=.*pr\w{4}m)(?=(?=\w*w\w*)(?=\w*b\w*)\w+\b)/){
print "<td>";
print "$elem\n";
print "<td>";
}
}
should be
my $searchTitle = $array[0];
if ($searchTitle =~ /(?=.*pr\w{4}m)(?=(?=\w*w\w*)(?=\w*b\w*)\w+\b)/){
foreach my $elem (@array){
print "<td>";
print "$elem\n";
print "<td>";
}
}
Beyond that, I'm not sure I can help you, since I don't understand what you are trying to do. What is the subroutine supposed to do? Writing the results to a file is does not appropriate.
