for ($d=1;$d<10;$d++){
That's going to iterate $d from 1 to 9. Its valid syntax,
but its easier to read, and more perlish this way:
for my $d ( 1..9 ) {
if ($line =~ /^(\d{1,10})/){
This is going to evaluate to true if $line contains a string
of numbers. It will assign up to the first 10 consequitive numbers into $1.
if ($d =~ /^$key$/){
This is going to evaluate true if the string of numbers is contained within $d. In other words, this is going to evaluate to true if the very first string of numbers that you found in $line was a single digit between 0 and 9. So, any of the following lines are guaranteed to never match:
this is my 023 string
hello 10
hi there 0
how are you 03

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).
