Re: testing against an array

How about this:

 
foreach my $item(@array) { 
   if ($test eq $item) {
       #do something interesting
      }
}

Hope that helps....

Even shorter: `if (grep { /^$testforthis$/ } @array { #do something }` [download] See grep for more information.	[reply] [d/l]

Even though the person below me already mentioned this, I felt it needed point out again: You can use any expression with grep, not just a regular expression, so if your testing for equality, use the equality test operator, don't try to coerce a regex in to pretending to be one. `if( grep $test eq $_, @array )`	[reply] [d/l]
