don't use '=' for comparison, sue '==' for numeric comparison and 'eq' for
string

the above is syntax error. should have been:
if($a eq 'b' || $a eq 'c' || $a eq 'd'){
}

the above is also syntax error
i notice that in your code, you sometimes have:
if($a eq 'Public'){
$b = 1;
}
if($a eq 'Public' || $a eq 'Whatever'){
$b = 2;
}
if($a eq 'Public' || $a eq 'Whatever' || $a eq 'Something'){
$b = 3;
}
now if $a is 'Public', all three of the if statement is true and the last if
statement sets $b equal to 3 which overwrites whatever is set in the first
2 if statement. i am not sure if that's really what you want or do you
mean:
if($a eq 'Public'){
}elsif($a eq 'Whatever'){
}elsif($a eq 'Something'){
}else{
}
