If this is pure Perl then it doesn't make any difference.

    if         (
                                ($_
    eq $bad_guys_ip)                  )
{more_stuff_here         };


is fine (although the second pair of parentheses won't make any
difference either) as long as you also have a

    sub more_stuff_here;

somewhere!

Can you give us a
bit more context, and say what error you're getting?

Cheers,

Rob
