in thread Searching file extensions

My question is how can I put all four of the extensions in my search? 
 if( $_ =~ /\.html?$/ or \.cfm/ or \.pl/)

Basically get it to search for all four in my "if( $_ =~ /\.html?$/ or \.cfm/ or \.pl/)" part. I dont think I can put "or" in my search part so how else can I do it?

    A simple use of grouping and alternation should do the trick e.g 
    print "$_ - ", ( /\.(?:html?|cfm|pl)$/ ? "yep" : "nope" ), "\n"
  for qw/ foo.pl bar.cfm baz.htm quux.xxx /;

__output__

foo.pl - yep
bar.cfm - yep
baz.htm - yep
quux.xxx - nope
