Help me Mister Wizard!

I'm testing for membership in an array, using:

sub listed
{
my $value = shift;
my @ary = @_;

   my $rtn = 0;

   print $NEW_INIFILE "Testing value >$value<\n";

   for my $x (0 .. $#ary) {

      print $NEW_INIFILE "... against >$ary[$x][1]<\n";

      if ($value =~ /$ary[$x][1]/) {
         print $NEW_INIFILE "found match! >$value< vs. >$ary[$x][1]<\n";
         ++$rtn;
      }
   }

   return( $rtn );

}

As of 15 minutes ago, suddenly the n+1'th member of the array is MATCHING $value.  Here's an iteration of the debug prints from the above loop...

Testing value >RX_43_0_0_001.gho<
... against >BK_50_0_0_001.gho<
... against >BT_50_0_0_001.gho<
... against >RX_42_0_0_001.gho<
... against >OF_50_0_0_001.gho<
... against >BT_47_0_0_001.gho<
... against >RX_40_0_0_001.gho<
... against >OF_47_0_0_001.gho<
... against >BT_44_0_0_001.gho<
... against >RX_38_0_0_001.gho<
... against >RX_36_0_0_001.gho<
... against >OF_44_0_0_001.gho<
... against >OF_41_0_0_001.gho<
... against ><
found match! >RX_43_0_0_001.gho< vs. ><

So what the argle-bargle's gone wrong? Anybody?  I'm clueless.....

Thanks to any who can solve this hairball.
