which character did not meet the requirements of the regex

[David vd Geer Inhuur tbv IPlib]

Hi,

I have an if-statement for checking the value of a variable :

 if (!($icname =~ /^[A-Za-z0-9_.]+$/)) {
    print "<tr><td>Sorry your IP-Block name cannot contain special 
characters</td>${submit}</tr><br>";
    $exit ="on";
  }

----
Is there a way to find out which character did not meet the requirements ?
I would like to tell the user which character he has entered and cannot be used.

So;
$icname = "123qwerty&";

In the if statement a variable "$specch" needs to contain the "&" character.
Is there any easy way for this ?

Thanks in advance !!
