Is that matches as in a regular expression, or is that matches
as in equality?

If it is regular expressions, then

perldoc -q "How do I efficiently match many regular expressions at once?"
to get the answer from the perl faq.

If it is equality, then

perldoc -q "How can I tell whether a certain element is contained in a list or array?

for a discussion of several techniques from the perl faq.
