Needlessly uses a regexp, the regexp isn't anchored, and incorrectly assumes $country contains a regexps. Fix: `print "True","\n" if ( grep $_ eq $country, @countries );` [download] I essentially posted that already.	[reply] [d/l]

You need to anchor your pattern match in grep, otherwise ... `@countries = qw(India Germany); $country = 'd'; print "True","\n" if ( grep /$country/, @countries );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
