Hello wondering if someone could help me out. I have the following script that I am using to search for about 100 records listed in a file against a bunch of log files. The problem is that I think it's searching each line for all 100 records. Not sure what I am doing wrong here hopefully someone can point me in the write direction. Once again here is what I am trying to do. I have a directory full of log files and I want to search through all of those files for matching entries from another file that contains key words. Thanks and please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again for the help!! 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Find;
my $DIR = "/tmp/logs/";
find(\&queries, $DIR);

sub queries() {
    if ( -f and /^ftr001/ ) {
        print "----------------------------------------------\n";
        print "Searching File:", $_, "\n";
        print "----------------------------------------------\n";
        open(UNZIP, "gunzip -dc < $_ |") or die "gunzip: $!";
        open(RECORDS, "/tmp/logs/records.txt") or die "Could not open 
+records file: $!";
        my @REC=<RECORDS>;
        chomp @REC;

        while ( <UNZIP> ) {
             my $EACH_LINE = $_;
             foreach my $REC_QUERY (@REC) {
                 print "Searching for current record: $REC_QUERY\n";
                 if ( $EACH_LINE =~ /\($REC_QUERY\)/ ) {
                     print "Querying for record: $REC_QUERY\n";
                     print "$EACH_LINE\n";
                 }
             }
         }
     }
 }
close(UNZIP);
close(RECORDS);
