in reply to Comparing against multiple values

PrimeLord's hash suggestion is quite good. I'd suggest also maybe a for loop as something more traditional:

for( qw( foo bar baz ) ){

    print "yep" and last if $test eq $_;
}

or all on one line: 
print "yep" and last if $test eq $_ for( qw( foo bar baz ) );

if it'll be a more complex action down the line, you can "do": 
do { print "yep"; last; } if $test eq $_ for( qw( foo bar baz ) );
