Why not test you regex to see if it works? Asking questions here will take much more time than testing. foreach my $value ( @list_of_test_values ) { print qq($value matches "m/^(p110|p111|p116)/io"\n) if $value =~ m/^(p110|p111|p116)/io; print qq($value matches "m/^p11[016]/io"\n) if $value =~ m/^p11[016]/io; } HTH, Charles K.
