I did the 'in' function for seeing if one element is inside on list

sub in {
    my $match = shift;
    foreach (@_) {
        return 1 if $match eq $_;
    }
    return 0;
}
so I'm calling the function like

if(in($x => (1,2,3))) {
   ...
};
While I realize your question is more about creating operators, etc.
Would 'grep' not work the same as the above?
perldoc -f grep
Well, grep() would be significantly less efficient for huge lists since 
it examines all the entries, right?
