I do not use a regex, and I am not sure if this will satisfy all your rules, but this may be something to start with:
#!/usr/bin/env perl use warnings; use strict; my $num_good = 2; my $num_bad = 1; my $try; my $target; $target = 1122; #$try = 1232; # good $try = 2211; # bad my @digits_targ = split //, $target; my @digits_try = split //, $try; my $cnt_right = 0; my $cnt_wrong = 0; for my $i (0 .. $#digits_targ) { if ($digits_targ[$i] == $digits_try[$i]) { $cnt_right++; } else { $cnt_wrong++; } } #print "cnt_right=$cnt_right\n"; #print "cnt_wrong=$cnt_wrong\n"; if (($cnt_right == $num_good) and ($cnt_wrong >= $num_bad)) { print "good\n"; } else { print "bad\n"; }

Update: I like jettero's use of length and substr better than my use of split.
