Re: conditional syntax options

[mzedeler]

If you want to check against a lot of constants, you can grep:

if(not grep {$string eq $_} qw{ X Y })

You can extend the list with X and Y as much as you like. Using it on two values only is overkill.

That was my thought as well, but as citromatik points out, Perl 5.10's ~~ is a very good option, even better in fact!
