in reply to Syntax error if clausule
It's customary to specify what error message you're getting.
Those constructs are explained pretty clearly in perlintro and perlsyn.
Another issue: @somearray[1] is an array slice. While it's syntactically correct, it's semantically mistaken to use an array slice when you really mean to refer to a single element by its index. $somearray[1] would be the semantically proper way to do that.
