The answer to your question is in perlfaq4 under the section
'How can I tell whether an array contains a certain element?", basically
the normal way is to convert your array to a hash.
You should not use grep. You also not use @parsed[2] which should be
$parsed[2], perlfaq4 explains the difference between the two, too.
