in reply to Using IF and OR, I'm sure there is a better way

write your own shortcircuiting any() if you don't want to use cpan:
sub any { my $var = shift; for (@_) { return 1 if $var == $_ } } if (any($var,1..2000)) { print "Var is between 1 and 2000 inclusive\n" + }

    Think I like this one best. I'm sure it'll bench fastest as well. Firing up the regexp engine to compare will have a noticeable overhead.
