Hi, I am a newbie to perl. I am trying to pass the filename and search for a keyword in that file and if found print that line else print not found message. However though my file has the keyword I get not found message.Please help.I know its pretty straightforward but I am stuck with this for hours :(...If i use foreach then I get multiple not found print messages for all the lines that dont have the criteria..what do I do ? 
#!/usr/bin/perl
# main program;
print "Enter the filename to be parsed\n";
my $file = <STDIN>;
open (FILE,$file);                              
@lines = <FILE>; 
close (FILE);
print "Enter the keyword to be searched in the file\n";
chop (my $key = <STDIN>);
    if (grep {$_ eq $key} @lines)     # Search for the key pattern in 
+the file information.
    {
    print "$_ \n";    # If found print the line
    }    
    else 
        {
    print "Keyword not found\n";
        }
