Hi!
I want to search whether a scalar '$a' contains any one of value of an array
'@arr'.
How it may be done?
as its not correct : print "found" if $a =~ /@arr/;
First of all, don't use $a or $b as a variable name. `sort` uses them
and although `perl` won't get confuse about them, you will.
Try:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use List::Util;
# find first item, undef means nothing found
my $found_item = first { $item =~ m{ \Q$_\E }msx } @list;
__END__
