So the question is how to put more than one condition into the initial if()?

if (/Grapes/ || /strawberry/i) {
    print;
}
else {
    print "$_ is not in the list.\n";
}

Or in this case you could leverage the power of alternation within the regular expression:

if (/Grapes|(?i:strawberry)/) {
    ....
}
else {
    ....
}

If the behavior is supposed to differ based on what matched, you could also do this:

if(/foo/) {
    # do something
}
elsif (/bar/) {
    # do something else
}
else {
    # complain about falling through
}
