ooops. update The "oops" is on me, that is. Missed that there are supposed to be only four digits.

That leaves you needing a small fix to your regex to deal with cases when the SSN is entered with hyphens, as

123-45-6789

However, you might still want to make sure that's the case, by using a numeric quantifier instead of the deathstar

s/if ($ssn =~ /^[0-9]*\z/if ($ssn =~ /^[0-9]{4}\z/

    Not a problem, is the last four digits only.
