And that's why we have regular expression, and modules which do these things. Get what you need from the USER_AGENT string and match in your keys. Instead of trying to nay-say suggestions, why don't think think of the whole picture of what is available to be done. So, this guy should keep looping through all the user agents? That's absurd.
(my $user_agent = $ENV{USER_AGENT}) =~ s!<whatever>!!;
if (exists $user_agents->{$user_agent}) {
# foo
} else {
# bar
}
When you are trying to think outside the box, remember to look at the box.

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).
