Thanks for replies but i still can't make it--the below lists file with some lines in it i need to match a combination of 1=NF and 5=8( each line starts with 8=F^) to select a right line 
8=F^A 9=145^A 5=D^A 34=4^A 49=ABC_DEFG01^A 52=20090323-15:40:29^A 56=C

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;

my $log = "log";
my $log_string = "grep '^8=' $log |";
usage ();
chomp (my $TAB_1 = $ARGV[0]);
chomp (my $TAB_5 = $ARGV[1]); 
open (my $HAN, "$log_string") || die "Problems grepin... : $!";
my @contents = <$HAN>;
my @matches = grep /1=$TAB_1 && 5=$TAB_5/, @contents ;
foreach (@matches) 
{ 
print "[+] FOUND $TAB_1 and $TAB_5 in\n",
"-----------------------\n",
"$_" ;}

now you can do it like 
foreach (@contents)
if /1=$TAB_1 && 5=$TAB_5 / - that also doesn't find lines with those 2
+ matches
