To search inside a file, I believe you must open that file.
Try this :-
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
open (FILE, "yourfile.any_ext");
@getdata = <FILE>;
print "content-type: text/plain\n\n";
if (grep /yourmatch/, @getdata) {
print @getdata;
} else {
print "Sorry ! couldn\'t find your match in the file.\n";
};
