Re: OR sequence

You can't do that.

You'll need something like:

for my $item( @FORM{ qw/Comments addr name/ } ){
  if( $item =~ m/http|html|A HREF/i) {
      &html_message;
   }
}

Other notes: you don't need the HTML and html with the /i at the end of your regex

Your test for HTML is a little naive.

Your test was just testing:

if( there's anything in Comments
      or
         there's anything in addr
      or
        name matches regex ){
  &html_message;
}

This will call `&html_massage` multiple times if more than one of the three items match. That may not be the OP's intent. To call `&html_massage` only once modify the loop to `ITEM: for my $item( @FORM{ qw/Comments addr name/ } ){ if( $item =~ m/http\|html\|A HREF/i) { &html_message; last ITEM; } }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

You need a `last` in your `if` to avoid calling `html_message` three times.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
