Hi, I have several arrays in my script and if I want to execute my script using one array, on the command prompt, I will be executing the script with $ARGV[1] as the array name. I want to check if the tags (enclosed in < and >) are not outside what is mentioned in the array. I have a subroutine to check this as below. 

sub validate_tag
{
    my $arr1=$ARGV[1];
    while($_ =~ /<(.+?)>/g)
    {
        $found=0;
        for my $x (0..$#arr1)
        {
            if($arr1[$x] eq $1){$found++}
        }
        if($found < 1){print "Invalid tag $1 found"}
    }
}

$#arr1 is not returning the correct count of elements in the array. Could anyone help me on this?
