Previous respondents have suggested efficient ways for various circumstances. As for the simplest way:
use Quantum::Superpositions;
if ($x == any(@list)) {
...
}
Note that the latest release of Q::S (just uploaded to the CPAN last week) is iterator-based and therefore much more efficient that previous versions. We have Steven Lembark to thank for that.
Note too that, whilst the performance of the grep- and hash-based solutions may improve slightly over time, the any solution will continue to improve significantly with future releases of Quantum::Superpositions, then with the new Perl6::Junctions module, and ultimately with the availability of any as a built-in feature of Perl 6.

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).
