TIMTOWTDI, if order matters, as it tends to in a test (.t file), I frequently use something along the lines of ...
# Defaine default
my $change = "neutral";
my @lookup = (
{ test => "blue" },
{ dark => "black" },
{ white => "light" },
{ house => "home" },
{ all\ things => "multi" },
{ money => "value" },
{ country => "USA" },
);
while (my ($i, $c) = each %lookup) {
next unless $item eq $i;
$change = $c;
last;
}
A purely untested suggestion ...
A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))

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.
