use List::MoreUtils qw( first_index );
my $i = first_index { $_ eq 'banana' } @list;
HOWEVER, you should consider whether you really want to use indexes into
lists. In general it is preferred just to iterate over items in a list
directly. (See "Perl Best Practices" book from O'Reilly)

Subject: Index of element in array?
Gurus,
I'm unable to find this in the Camel, Panther, or Billygoat books, so
I'll ask you... Is there a Perl function that returns the index of a
given element in an array? For example:
my @list = q( apple banana pear grapefruit);
