Perl is frustrating. There is an exists() function that works for hashes, put push() only works for arrays. So I wrote a function to tell me if a string exists in an array.

sub in_array {
  $needle = shift(@_);
  @haystack = @_;
 
  $found = 0;
 
  foreach $hs (@haystack) {
    if ($hs eq $needle) { $found = 1; }
  }
 
  return $found;
 
}
 
@moo = ("one", "two", "three");
if (in_array("two", @moo)) {
  print "two!n";
}
