Hi, Hi Monks! So I'm trying to write a basic virus scanner, and I'm unable to get binary strings to match. Is there anything obvious I'm missing in my code? Thanks! 
$x=$y=0;

$data_file='C:\scripts\sample_virus';
open(FH, "<:raw", $data_file) or die("Could not open file dumbass!");
@raw_data=<FH>;
close(FH);

$virus_defs='c:\scripts\signatures'; #puts signatures into array @def_
+input
open(FH, "<:raw", $virus_defs) or die ("Could not open $virus_defs");
@def_input=<FH>;
close(FH);

$fileLen=scalar(@raw_data); #find number of file lines
print "Array length: $fileLen\n";    

foreach $line (@def_inputs) { #puts text file into a stepped array
    #print "x= $x\n";
    @defs[$x]=$line;
    #print "@defs[$x]\n";
    $x+=1;
    }
    print "\n";
    
    $x=0; #reset counter

foreach $line (@raw_data) { #compares line by line for virus
    if ($line eq @virus[$x]) {
        print "Infection line $x \n";
        $x+=1;
        } {
        print "$line\n";
        print "@virus[$x]\n";
        }
    }
