I'd be inclined to do that as a sub like this:
sub is_blacklisted {
my $string = $_[0];
for (@blacklist){
# add \b /i to re as required
return 1 if ( $string =~ /$_/ );
}
return 0;
}
<Rant> Where I am working at the moment they have a set of key words blocked on the proxy server. I discovered it by accident doing a search for "death and taxes", apparently "death" is not an acceptable topic even though it was completely benign in the context of my search, you can't even do a dictionary search for death! "Dead" on the other hand is ok...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
