This is checking to see if each line matches the filename itself, not the 
contents of file1. You were going for the contents of $file1, correct?

Here's my stab. Read in the target files first, then match.
When it walks through the source file, it will print out the name of all 
target files that match.

my $sourcefile='source';
my @targetfiles=('one', 'two', 'three');

my %dest;

foreach my $file (@targetfiles) {
    open INFILE, $file or die "Can't open $file: $!\n";
    while (<INFILE>) {
        chomp;
        (defined $dest{$_}) ? ($dest{$_}=$dest{$_}.", $file") : ($dest{$_}=$file);
    }
    close INFILE;
}

open INFILE, $sourcefile or die "Can't open $sourcefile: $!\n";
while (<INFILE>) {
    chomp;
    print "$_ was found in $dest{$_}\n" if (exists $dest{$_});
}
close INFILE;
