I have questions on two items. One is syntax related. I know what I want to do, but don't know the syntax to do it in perl. I want to set the variable $plex and $vol for columns two and three in the following output. Summarily, when column one is equal to /^pl/ and column two contains /-02/ then set the plex variable to column two and capture the contents of column three on a line by line basis. Finally, I want to pass those variables to a Unix command (vxplex -g rootdg att $vol $plex). The second question relates to passing the -T option to perl. When I set perl to use taint checking and I ENV={PATH}, perl complains about my using strict. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my @vxvols = `/usr/sbin/vxprint -htqg rootdg`;
foreach my $type (@vxvols) {
        if ( $type =~ /pl/ )      {
           print ($type) ;
    }
}
