in thread Loop Control : REDO

yours is good, but why chomp? no need with that regexp...
print "** Random 4 Lotto Numbers **\n"; print "** Type any four digits (0 to 9) **\n"; for ($i=1; $i <= 4; $i++) { print "Choice $i: "; redo if ($digit[$i] = <STDIN>) !~ /^\d$/; } print "Your choices :@digit \n";
since the $ works fine with \n there

    You are quite right that $ in regex will match at the end of the line, but you still need the chomp, otherwise the newlines get into the array.
