something is wrong with this..
say %yahoo's key contains the variable , X
I wanted to go through the @array which has array of hashes... to see
if one of the value is equal to

Tracing the program, it only goes through 6 lines of keys in @t_array
(random keys) (it has 89 keys total).. what am i doing wrong?
while (my ($keys,$values) = each(%yahoo) ) {
no strict 'refs';

The for loop is not doing what you appear to think it is supposed to
be doing:
$ perl -le'
my %hash = "A" .. "Z";
for my $c ( 1 .. 3 ) {
my $i;
for ( my ( $k, $v ) = each %hash ) {
print "$c ", ++$i, qq[: \$_ = "$_" \$k = "$k" \$v = "$v"];
}
}
'
1 1: $_ = "S" $k = "S" $v = "T"
1 2: $_ = "T" $k = "S" $v = "T"
2 1: $_ = "A" $k = "A" $v = "B"
2 2: $_ = "B" $k = "A" $v = "B"
3 1: $_ = "O" $k = "O" $v = "P"
3 2: $_ = "P" $k = "O" $v = "P"
You need to use each() in a while loop instead.
my $keys_b = qr/$keys/;
if ( $v =~ m/$keys_b/ ) {
$ex_var = $k;
last MF;
}
}
}

while @t_array contains

..... so and on
);
%something_now = (
"something11" => '123123',

@t_array = (\%something, \%someting_now)
