I don't know about easy to read but it can be done in a roundabout sort of way:
$a = 5;
$b = 5;
$c = 5;
if ((($a == $b ) + ($a -1)) == $c) { print "yes!!!\n"; }
or better yet:
# given three equal variables
if (($a == $b ) == ($b == $c)) { print "yes!!!\n"; }
# as pointed out by Sidhekin
# given three different variables
if (($a == $b ) == ($b == $c)) { print "yes!!!\n"; }
# still prints 'yes!!!\n'. Why?
# both sides evaluate to false or 0,
# and 0 == 0 evaluates to true
Again, I'm not saying I'd use this... ;0)
Update: Thanks to Sidhekin for pointing out my misstep. It does work with 2 same and 1 different variable. ;0)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
