Hi Monks, I have some problem in number ranges.

I have tried the following coding, its working fine for three digit ranges (123-135) but it may vary in number of digits(12-14, 1234-1256).

use strict;

my $a="123-135, 111-119, 127-130, 140-145";
print "Original : $a\n";

my @a = split (/\, /, $a);
eval{s/^(\d{2})(\d+)\-(\d{2})(\d+)$/&digit($1,$2,$3,$4)/egsi;} for (@a
+);

print "Changed  : ";
print "$_\t" for @a;

sub digit{
    my ($f, $f1, $s, $s1)=@_;     
    if ($f == $s){
        $s=$s1;
    }
    else{
        $s=~s/\d//; $s.=$s1;
    }        
return qq($f$f1-$s);
}

But when i get the input like this, the above coding not works, is there any other way to do?

my $a="9-35, 11-19, 1272-1340, 1430-1435";

Is there any module?

Regards,
Velusamy R.
