if listElement in aList:
... do stuff ...
In Perl you gotta do this with grep (or something else like that).
Although we can apparently look forward to the following constructs in Perl 6 (if I read this correctly):
# Do stuff if $list_element is in @a_list
if ($list_element =~ @a_list) {
... do stuff ...
}
# ... OR ...
# Loop through a bunch of list elements
foreach @list_elements {
# Do stuff if the current element is in @a_list
when @a_list { ... do stuff ... }
# If not in @a_list, what about @other_list ?
when @other_list { ... do stuff ... }
}

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).
