I want to have pure perl equivalent of following:
my $out = `my_utility | grep manish`;

which will give me the lines containing manish in the output
of my_utility in variable $out.

You'd use the aptly-named grep() function in Perl to get only those 
elements returned by `my_utility` that have 'manish' in them:

  my @wanted = grep /manish/, `my_utility`;
