In the spirit of TMTOWTDI ...
my @matches = (
'abcde', 'bcdef', 'cdefg', 'defgh', 'efghi', 'fghij', 'ghijk', 'hi
+jkl', 'ijklm'
);
if ( grep { $sorted_values eq $_ } @matches ) {
# ...
}
This approach makes for easy maintenence, particularly, if there a number of points in the code where matching is to be carried out. However, this method should prove to be slower compared to other methods in that it executes in O(n), where n is the number of elements in @matches.
YMMV

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).
