Since most people tend to write the "if" and and conditional on the same line, the following one-liner should work for most Perl scripts:
perl -ne'if(m/if\s*\(.+?=[^~].+?\)/){print "Possible use of = instead
+of == in line $.\n"}' script.pl
Of course this won't catch cases where the if and conditional are not on the same line, or constructs such as:
something() if $var1 = $var2;
Covering more cases will require a full blown script... or perhaps a new CPAN module :-)

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).
