$searchStr="NOT YET AVALIABLE";
# $var is the string in which u r trying to search the pattern $searchStr...
if($var =~ /$searchStr/){
    ## contains the string..
}else{
   ### doesnt contain the string...
}

The result of the =~ operation is one of the following:
     A nonzero value, or true, if the pattern is found in the 
string...0, or false, if the pattern is not matched

to ignore case... if($var =~ /$searchStr/i)

hope this solves u r query..
