Hello Perl Masters,

There's a mechanic I've been trying to execute that's puzzling me. 
open(SuitDoc,<STDIN>) || die "Cannot open file";

@suits = ("hearts","clubs","spades","diamonds");

foreach $suit (@suits)
{
    while(my $line = <SuitDoc>)
    {
    If($line =~ /($suit)/) 
        {
        print "$suit";
        }
    }
}

So I want to print the value in the array for each line that contains it, and I want to run the process four separate times, one for each suit, so the results of each suit are grouped together.

When I run this script, though, the results are printed for the first value of the array, but then they stop. What am I doing wrong?
I greatly appreciate any help.
