Hello,

I'm working on a project where I need to split various tag numbers, from a
standard set of prefixes, entered into a form and check the number against a
database.

A sample test code that works, but was wondering if there's a better way to
utilize the regrex of this code:

# @tags similuate the tag numbers entered into a form, multiple numbers
my @tags = qw(K001900 L001234 GP001675);

# @prefixs are a pre-determined set of prefixes used.
my @prefixs = qw(SP 8 L K GP TP MP);

my($tagid,$tnum);

print header('text/html');
  while(my $prefix = <@prefixs>) {
      foreach $tagid (@tags) {
       if ($tagid =~ m!^$prefix!) {
         $tagid =~ s!^$prefix!!;
     print qq|Prefix: $prefix - Number: $tagid<br>|;
     # Results: Prefix: K - Number: 001900
     # ...etc
    }
  }
}

My questions is, is there a better way to separate the prefix from the number ??
Any suggest would be much appreciated.

TIA,
