try this out... 
@list1 = qw(1 3 44 5 50 6 34 23);
@list2 = qw(11 35 4 50 9 6 34 23);
@list3 = qw(23 1 23 4 50 6  34 23);
@list4 = qw(43 1 33 34 50 9 6 34 23);
@list5 = qw(3 1 45 3 4 50 6  34 23);
@list6 = qw(14 54 3 4 50  6 34 23);

$total = [\@list1, \@list2, \@list3, \@list4, \@list5, \@list6];
$search = '9';

map{$tmp++ , map{ print "found in list $tmp \n"  if $_ eq $search  } @
+$_ }@$total
