The search patterns I am looking for are contained inside the list (each element of the list is going to be used to scan an entire log file). So "if ( /match/ )" needs to reference each element of the FOREACH loop which I will have nested inside a while <FILENAME> loop. That's what's confusing me.

Do you _really_ need to know the index of the current element? If really so: my $i = 0; foreach ( @list ) { $i++; if ( /match/ ) { # ... } } > If (/$logs[i]/) Please post _real_ Perl code.
