It's not very clear to me
It's not very clear to me what you're trying to accomplish:
do you want to store into a variable all the lines from a file that match a given regular expression?
If that is what you want you can do something like this:
my @results; while ( <FILE> ) { push @results, $_ if ( /regular-expression/ ); }
