in reply to match function
What is your question?
I think the error message is quite clear:
Unmatched [ in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/([ <-- HERE B|b)
There is an unmatched opening square bracket in your regular expression.
Your regular expression is
/([B|b)/
Maybe you wanted to write [Bb], or maybe ([B|b])? But that's not what you wrote.
Also, the following code will most certainly not do what you think it does:
if ($_ = /([A|a])/) {
Most likely, you want to use the regex binding operator =~ and not the assignment operator =.
