As it’s in a scalar context, grep will return the number of times for which the
condition is true against the list entries, so if $oconf->{dow} doesn’t have
duplicates it will return 1 if $wday is found on the list. This will in turn
make the condition true as the exists expression must be true for grep to at
all execute.
