in reply to pull single value

Looking at this code, you want to change it to something like this. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

my @record = ( "662-5555", "+1 102 892-1314" );

for (@record) {
    print if /(^\d{3}-\d{4}$)/;
}

    Why did u put this array? my @record = ( "662-5555", "+1 102 892-1314" ); What if they are just individual values? Thanks, Pamela

      Did you want to run the "print if" against both values?

        How to do that?

        Actually this code will fetch attribute having multiple values, i want only a single value that matches my pattern. The code above is not working. I even tried this one. 
        #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @array;

my $record = "+1 102 892-1314";
$record = "662-5555";


if ($record =~ m/(^\d{3}-\d{4}$)/) {
   
   push @array, $record;
}

 print "@array";
