I want to do some conditional checks with respect to hostname and the following status history hash as shown below.. $host is the input variable . I want the IF condition to either check if the host is a red-type-alert, or and orange-type-alert with the first two status_history to be 1,1 or any other alert with status_history be 1,1,1 Here's what I have now.. 
@redAlert =  ( "db" );
@orangeAlert = ("c", "sm" );
        'status_history' => {
                                                'status' => [
                                                              1,
                                                              1,
                                                              1,
                                                              1,
                                                              1,
                                                              0,
                                                              0,
                                                              0,
                                                              0,
                                                              0
                                                            ],

 if ( ( $redAlert =~ $host ) || ( $orangeAlert =~ $host && $status_his
+tory =~ /1,1/) || ( $status_history =~ /1,1,1/ ) )

Would that work? Thanks kit
