If I am reading this correctly (which I am probably not!) you need
another foreach loop in there somewhere. When you compare $file with
$lines, you are trying to compare the contents of @temp. I think you
need to wrap your comparison with a foreach loop:
foreach $file (sort readdir (DH)) {

use CGI ':standard';
use DBI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
