# Perl, 9 bytes

```
/[abipq]/
```

Perl's got an `m//` operator (which you also get if you use a bare regex, like here) that by default matches on `$_`. Returns true if it matches, false if it doesn't.

The regex itself isn't anything special.

If you wanted to actually use it, you could do something like `say "is HTML" if /[abipq]/;`.
