Hello Angel,

From the query you have posted i observe the following.

The function is tripping because the ^(caret) is outside the brackets([]) They need to be inside.

Using the ć for testing is perfectly ok the regex performs perfectly, once the caret is placed within the brackets.

my $in = "ć";

if ($in !~ /\w/) {print "contains non alpha numeric characters!!"; } else {print 'its all OK (_)';}

This should clarify your doubts. Cheers!!!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
