in thread my 'if' condition doesn't work, why?

shame that it's not standard Perl but instead requires an extra module

Well, you can get a similar result using List::Util, which is a core module:

#! perl use strict; use warnings; use List::Util 'any'; for my $n (0 .. 267) { print "$n\n" if any { $n == $_ } (40, 47, 76); }

Update: Fixed off-by-one error in the for loop range, thanks to AnomalousMonk.

Output:

17:34 >perl 1074_SoPW.pl 40 47 76 17:34 >

Hope that helps,
