It would seem that you should use the length function. (Also, why
should it matter that the string in question is a password?)

Maybe you need qr// ?

No, I don't think so. The pattern you're giving should match both. Can
you show us the code that does what you're talking about?
print "matched\n" if 'my=test' =~ /^.{4,}$/;
print "matched\n" if 'myte=st' =~ /^.{4,}$/;
