I am trying to come up with a set of regular expressions that can go into the code I have written to scan the data at the end of the code and tell me how many positive, negative, and 0 integers. 

 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my ( $ctrP, $ctrN, $ctrZ ) = ( 0, 0, 0 );
while( my $num = <DATA> ) {
        chomp($num);
        ## print "num=[$num]\n";
        if ( $num =~ /REGEX FOR POSITIVE/ ) {
                $ctrP++;
        }
        elsif ( $num =~ /REGEX FOR NEGATIVE/ ) {
                $ctrN++;
        }
        else {
                $ctrZ++;
        }
}
printf("freq(Z+):%8s\n", $ctrP );
printf("freq(Z-):%8s\n", $ctrN );
printf("freq(0):%9s\n", $ctrZ );
printf("Total:%11s\n", ($ctrP+$ctrN+$ctrZ) );
exit;
