In the same category, to see if $bar is in @foo:

my %foo = map { $_ => 1 } @foo;

if ($foo{$bar}) {

or faster and using less memory:

my %foo;
undef @foo{@foo};

if (exists $foo{$bar}) {
   ...
}

Of course, for a single test, grep is easier and often faster:

if (grep $_ eq $bar, @foo) {
   ...
}
