Hail Monks!

I have a module with a function which should only trigger if certain conditions are true/false (depending on if I use if or unless) but the way it is currently triggering it appears that the if/unless is being ignored. I'm under the impression it has to do with the priority order of the operators but I'm not certain.

Attempt using unless:

#/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;

########################
## unrelated code here #
########################

sub triggerNotification {
    my $data = @_; # data passed into function to be processed
    
    unless($data == 'ARCHITECH' || $data == 'CURR-LIB'
        || $data == 'MARKET_PL') {
            
            # send email notification

    }
}

Attempt using if/else:

#/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;

########################
## unrelated code here #
########################

sub triggerNotification {
    my $data = @_; # data passed into function to be processed
    
    if(!($data == 'ARCHITECH') || !($data == 'CURR-LIB')
        || !($data == 'MARKET_PL')) {
            
            # send email notification

    }
    else {
        # do nothing
    }
}

Both of these attempts failed to prevent the email notification from being sent out and I'm not sure what I have written wrong. Thank you in advance for any advice!
