[boulder.pm] break a while(<F>) and better grep?

Currently I have a script that walks a bunch of directories. It opens
each file and reads it with a:
while(<File>) {
if (<$String>) {
do stuff;
}
}
Part of the problem is I want it to break out of the while at the first
time it finds $string, but not the loop that the while is in. Will
a "break" do this clean? Something else?
Is there a faster way to grep a string out of a file, without actually
doing a system('grep')? I just need to know if the string is in the
file.

perl -e 'print $i=pack(c5,(41*2),sqrt(7056),(unpack(c,H)-2),oct(115),10);'
