Here is my current subroutine, I would like to use a file instead of an if then structure, so if I go on vacation, someone can just add sitecodes to the file. This works, but adding a file would make it better, I could change the sub depending on the match to call this or the other sub

sub MLX40Tutorials
 {
 my $str = "";
 $str .= mLeftIndex();
 my $xml = xmlFileData(Content", "Sitelist40.xml", "MLX40Tutorials()")
+;
    if ($Request->item("DocID")->item())
    {
      my $id = $Request->item("DocID")->item();
      $xml =~ /(<tut id=\"$id\".*?\/>)/s;
      $str .= $1;
    }
    else
    {
      $xml =~ /(<mlxchange40.*?<\/mlxchange40>)/s;
      $str .= shadowBox("Mlxchange Tutorials", "<tutorials>".$1."</tut
+orials>", ($g_docWidth/5*4-(2*$g_docSpace)));
      
    }
    return $str;
  }
