Thank you for the time and help receiving , I am providing a sample pseudo code to get clear idea the $description$i is to be compared every time with the @steps_name array 

my @db_description=("MOVE 3-4 STEPS TO GB FIXTURE","WITHIN REACH TO CH
+ECK","GET BEAM","PUSH/PULL ( >= 30 CM)","BEAM 2-3 TIMES","MOVE 8-10 S
+TEPS TO HOIST");
my @steps_name = ("1-2 Steps", "5-7 Steps", "8-10 Steps", "11-15 Steps
+");

for(my $i=0;$i<@db_description;$i++)
{
            if (grep { /(?i)\Q$db_description[$i]\E/ } @steps_name)   
+ 
                {
                     print "<br><h1>Element '$db_description[$i]' foun
+d " ;
                }
                
                else
                {
                     print "<br>$db_description[$i] not found </br>"
                }
}

update - i want description array to iterate and check in @steps_name array every time for that i am using grep { /(?i)\Q$db_description$i\E/ } @steps_name.
