You don't seem to have problem 1 in your code. As for problem 2, if a name matches in several places, all occurrences will be printed. If you want uniqueness use an hash. The following example illustrates the differences: 

use strict;
use warnings;

my @names = ('joe', 'mary', 'francis');
my @lines = <DATA>;

my %lines_matched;
my @all_found;

foreach my $name (@names) {
    my $wanted = $name;

    foreach my $line (@lines) {
        if ($line =~ m/\b$wanted\b/i) {
            push @all_found, $line;
            $lines_matched{$line} = 1;
        }
    }
}

print foreach @all_found;
print "\nNow the uniques:\n";
print foreach keys %lines_matched;

__DATA__
Joe is lazy
Robin Wood
Mary Poppins
Francis Bacon
Ruppert
Joe married Mary

outputs

Joe is lazy
Joe married Mary
Mary Poppins
Joe married Mary
Francis Bacon

Now the uniques:
Francis Bacon
Joe married Mary
Joe is lazy
Mary Poppins
