Hello Perl Monks,

I have a list of values inside an array. Now I want to check if none of the values inside the array are part of my scalar (at a certain position). Here's what I have so far: 

use strict;
my $text = 'f000124_90181234_dp';
my $sites = [ '018', '324' ];

my $deleteme = 1;
if (grep {$text =~ /_9$_/} @$sites) { $deleteme = 0 }
if ($deleteme) { print "To be removed..\n" }

Note: The array (@$sites) can be of variable length.


The code basically works; question is how can this be coded more elegant? It somehow looks kind of awkward to me ;)


Thanks for any advice!
BR
