Greetings All;
Thanks for all the great suggestions! They all worked as
written and now I can go onto the next problem. What ever
that turns out to be!
And to answer a couple of questions;

Okay, that makes a little more sense.

I prefer this
$x =~ /^[x-z]$/i;
Normally, I will use:
my $ans = ( $x =~ /^[x-z]$/i )?"yes":"no";
print "\n\nThe answer = $ans\n";

You can use
if ($x =~ /^(?:X|Y|Z)\z/) { ... }
I side with Randal in warning about the use of $ here where \z is clearly
the proper choice.

$x='y';
if($x=~/[xyz]/) # checks for match to any character in set
{
print 'yes';
}
else
{
print 'no';
}

This should do what you want:
if
You can do it with a regex:
if($x =~ /^[XYZ]$/){
do something...
}
or
if($x =~ /^(X|Y|Z)$/){
do something...
}

Could use a regex:
if ( $x =~ /[XYZ]/ ) {
# if contains
}else
# if doesn't contain
}
If there can be more than one character (like ' ABX') then you would need to
add:
$x =~ /^
if ( $x =~ /^(X|Y|Z)$/ ) # anyone got better?
