I'm currently parsing a line within an xml file. I need to search for the "iL" command and when it is found, select the word right after it. The format of all the items on the line can shift, so I can't search for a particular index number. A sample of the line is: ..... data=company.com -iR 12345 -iL mylink -iF 2 ....... Here is what I am doing now: 
@arglist = split(/\ /), $args);
foreach $item (@arglist) {
    if ($item =~ /-iL/)  {
        - need to move to the word right after this value
        - (mylink)
        - and assign it to a variable, and break out
    }
}
