It's not entirely clear what format your initial data structure is taking. Are the values a single string? Are an array of values?
Assuming that they are array refs, and that your ranges are ordered from lesser value to greater value, this should work just fine:
my %hash = (
a => ['15-19',30,35,120],
b => ['15-17','30-35',40],
c => ['15-18',30,35,120],
);
for (values %hash) {
@$_ = map {/^(\d+)-(\d+)$/ ? ($1..$2) : $_} @$_;
}
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper(\%hash);
If your ranges could be reversed, then the following adaptation would work:
for (values %hash) {
@$_ = map {!/^(\d+)-(\d+)$/ ? $_ : ($1 < $2) ? ($1..$2) : reverse
+($2..$1)} @$_;
}
