hi,,, blazar, check out this code updates:

my $test = $b;

$test =~ s/\s+//g;

if ($test != 0) {
   $test =~ s/[1-5]//;
   print "It is either 1,2,3,4,5\n" if ! $test and $test ne "0";
}

it may seems to be lenghty for me but if you've got shorter codes for this, then you can modify it or create a better one.

What can I say? PerlPhi, please do not take this as a personal offense, I find it overly complex, clumsy, hard to parse and understand. If you really want to go the way of a regex, and I find it quite reasonable, what's wrong with the right™ one?

you may add any additional at @_ to test.

Incidentally, I wouldn't use $b as a general purpose scalar, nor @_ as a general purpose array.
