Re: Confused by a Conditional

in reply to Confused by a Conditional

Because the following are considered true:

'TITLE' or 'GENE' or 'CYTOBAND' or 'LOCUSLINK' or 'CHROMOSOME' or 'SCO
+UNT'

You will want to repeat the $key eq 'something' bit, or have possible matches in a pattern match a la /(TITLE|GENE|CYTOBAND|etc..)/, or have the possible matches in an array and grep through it (perldoc -f grep), or in a hash and do one if exists $hash{$key}....
