Re: [mv] Discounted fields in minivend database

After much time and headache, I have yet to have the [discount] tag be
selective about what it discounts.  I have tried minivends if/else tags
and I have tried embeded perl code.  I'm going to present both and see if
anyone has any suggestions or reasons why this code doesn't work.

[if [item-field Category] =~ Shirts,Suits,Blazers,Dress]
[then]
  [discount [item-code]]
    $s = $original;
    $discounted = $s * .75;
    $difference = $s - $discounted;
    return $discounted;
  [/discount]
[/then]
[/if]

This one produced a lot of uncertain results.  I don't think it ever
actually entered the if tag.  Here is what I had for perl code.

[perl interpolate=1]
  if(('[item-field Category]' =~ /^Suits/i) || ('[item-field Category]' =~
/^Dress/i) || ('[item-field Category]' =~ /^Shirts/i) || ('[item-field
Category]' =~ /^Blazers/i)
  {
    return [item-subtotal] * .75;
  }
  {
    return [item-subtoal];
  }
[/perl]

We have been trying to get either one of these tags to work but with no
luck.  If anyone sees any logic flaw or incompatibilities, please let me
know. Thanks.
