What about an overkill abstract solution?

# is_one_of($val, \@list);
sub is_one_of {
    my $val = shift;
    my $list = shift;
    my $test_name = "$val is not one of @$list";
    for (@$list) {
        pass($test_name), return if $val eq $_;
    }
    diag "never saw [$val] in [@$list]";
    fail($test_name);
}
[download]

And then palette may say:

is_one_of($var, [ qw(a b) ]);
[download]

Update: fixed after grinder's comment — return and diag added.

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).
