in thread How to check if a variable's value is equal to a member of a list of values

Be careful as on newer perl versions:

$ perl -le '@a = (1,2,3); print "fred\n" if @a ~~ 1;'
# prints nothing
$ perl -le '@a = (1,2,3); print "fred\n" if 1 ~~ @a;'
fred

I think it changed at 5.10.1 but I didn't check that.
