I am getting this error when I use this code sub search { my ($a, @a_list) = @_; foreach (@a_list) { if($_ == $a) return TRUE; # continue; } return FALSE; } syntax error at code.pl line 26, near ") return" What is the right way to return TRUE ? Also, what is the right way to continue ? I know I should be thinking more in Perl terms than trying to convert C code to Perl this way.

What are the Perl equivalents of return and continue keywords in C?

    }
    return FALSE;
}
