Is it possible to do the opposite? Make an assignment of one scalar if a match is found in the elements of an array? I'm sure this syntax is wrong, but something like:

@terms = ("Word1","Word2","Word3");

$match = $1 if($lineFromSomeTextFile =~ /(^@terms)/);

I know the regular expression part is wrong, but is there some advanced Monk way of accomplishing this? What about grep? can that somehow be incorporated into the regex?
