Hi,

I want to create an if statement where 2 individual variables are matched before action is taken.

To clarify what I want to do, I run a series of tests in different internet browsers on different operating systems. I need to define in my script that when the variable $host matches "MAC" AND the variable $browser matches "Internet Explorer", the script needs to skip the tests because IE does not run on MAC. My first thoughts are it would look something like this:

if ($host =~ /mac/,
    $browser eq "iexplore") {
# skip tests;
} else {
# run tests as normal;
}

I think the above statement is actually an if / or statement though.

Any help would be much appreciated.
