Wouldn't in_list be faster if it broke out early, instead of comparing all the items and then coercing to boolean? Something like
sub in_list { ( $_ eq $_[0] ) && return 1 for @_[ 1 .. $#_ ]; undef;}
Though personally I'd go with the less compact, but more readable
sub in_list {
for (@_[ 1 .. $#_ ]){
return 1 if $_ eq $_[0];
}
undef;
}
Since if it's going to be a sub anyway, you might as well make it a little easier to read.

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).
