Probably many ways to do this but one would be
if (($letter ge "A") && ($letter le "L")) {
do something
}

Subject: Help with Perl
Hi List,
I am new to perl and looking for a shortcut way of doing this.
# $letter could be any letter from A to L.
if ( $letter eq "A" || $letter "B" || $letter "C" || $letter eq "D"
............. || $letter eq "L" )
{
do something
}
I really don't want to repeat $letter for every letter (B-L).
In ksh Shell, I can do:
if [[ $letter = @(A|B|B|C|D|.......|L) ]]
then
do something
fi
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Andy
