    Which takes more effort:
    • Posting this question to Perlmonks?
    • Trying the damn code to see if it works?
    ffs!

    That is the mod function. Or at least the mod operator. What problems are you having?

    Nah! You're thinking of Simon Templar, originally played (on UKTV) by Roger Moore and later by Ian Ogilvy

    $y % 3 == 0 && do { }
$y % 3 || do { }
do { } if $y % 3 == 0
do { } unless $y % 3

    Or of course you could just drop the do: and use the code you posted!!!

      Don't forget...

      unless ($y % 3) { }

      I think that, for the most part, I prefer the explicitness of if ($y % 3 == 0) { } though.

        I'm curious (genuinely curious, not picking a fight) as to why if (...) is more explicit than unless (...)? Is it because if is more ubiquitous?

    ;-), obviously you did the right thing... See, it is the same as in other languages. A tiny suggestion, you also can say things like: 
    if (!($y % 3)) {
}
