Your subject should be related to your question, if you don't mind.

That's because you're using the string as a regex, and those characters as
special to regexes. You don't wnat a regex anyway.
if (index($looking_for, $original_ip_address) > -1) { $i++ }
Please read:
perldoc -f index
and the regex documentation if you're so inclined:
perldoc perlretut
perldoc perlre
