The test will be repeated possibly thousands of times, as records are read in from an array, but I agree, if it was only going to be a one off, then I'd probably have left it as a regex.

    If you're reading these in from an array, I wonder if a test like this might be faster: 
    my @array = get_block_of_data;
data_is_bad if join("", @array) =~ /[^A-Z]/;
